24.01.2022 Over 6 years ago I sat outside my church & looked at all the people passing by. Scurrying, hurrying, off to their next schedule. I thought about how we as the c...hurch need to step outside our 4 walls and reach people where they’re at. To be a community. To love on others and not just eat sponge cake and go home. We need to be part of the change. After all it takes a village to raise a child, and it takes some selfless servant-hearted people to see the needs of others. Oh the irony when the church isn’t confined to some walls and pews. It’s never been just about that I know now as I did back then, but now more than ever it’s a community of people who love. We are reaching so many by being salt and light, his hands and feet in both small and big ways. Through a screen or kind deeds, it takes big love to see change. So this is a song called Big Love, because we all need to be the change we want to see in the world. https://youtu.be/Q__co8-91T0

23.01.2022 Aww one of my biggest fans. So sweet! So glad it continues to inspire.

22.01.2022 If you notice something about someone say it. It might make their day, or their world.

22.01.2022 This song makes me think of the issue of human trafficking. Every life matters, and after the recent 30th July "United Nations World Day against trafficking" raising awareness is just the start. #zoeinternational

21.01.2022 It was about 6 years ago. I was really discouraged with my voice, feeling like I always had to keep practicing and pushing through while it came easy for others. In my discouragement came a feeling to rise, to keep going, to keep fighting for the voice within me. Here’s Declaration, a song I recorded 4 years ago thanks to Becky Everist, one of the beautiful creatives on an artists retreat. ... This is for that voice in you that tells you to quit, to just give up and that it’s not worth it. But I won’t give up. I refuse to. This is my declaration and it can be yours too. We all need to continue to fight in this season. Fight for what is rightfully yours because it’s always worth it. Thought I would share one of my old songs tonight instead of a poem. https://youtu.be/e9fePdHdzWA

19.01.2022 Anyone a bit like this today? Happy hump day!

19.01.2022 All I want is you.. new song I just wrote from a songwriters challenge..

15.01.2022 So.. logged into my email to discover there may have been some suspicious behaviour on my music distribution account. Watch out! Someone wants the 27c I earned from the songs being played on Spotify and an album being bought on ITunes Yes Leo. Go team, being all successful and stuff

14.01.2022 On Jan 1st 1962 the Beatles auditioned for Decca Records... and were rejected. Among the reason quoted: 'guitar groups are on the way out' and 'The Beatles have no future in show business'. Remember this episode if you get a rejection!

14.01.2022 Have you ever let fear, busyness and (if you're really honest with yourself) a feeling of not being good enough stop you from doing something? I have. And I am not proud of it. 6 years ago (!!) I started the process of recording an album. A friend had just lost her brother to suicide and some friends were struggling, and I just felt like I needed to do something, anything to help. Even in some small way. Some beautiful friends, lots of support, an incredible audio engineer,... amazing musicians, a launch and 2 years later here I was.. something to share with others. But I was too fearful. Of what people would think. Of not being good enough. And I knew because of my vocal issues that it wasn't going to be my best work. But I wanted to do it anyway. At the time it was also emotional because I was going through a rocky relationship. I pushed through, the songs also ministering to me too with tears running down my cheeks as I needed reminding of those exact words. But somehow it still wasn't enough to get to that point of making it public. To getting it on other platforms. No, really good singers are there. It could be better. There are already other performers out there saying a similar message. Fear of the unknown put blinders on me making me feel like it wasn't worth doing. Well then Covid19 happened. And the excuses of being too busy were pushed out of the way. And I was left with the cold hard reality. This thing had been on my to-do-list for such a long time, why had I never actually completed the last stage? It was on my music page in bits. It was on Soundcloud. I had to face reality. I had the push of a good friend Loren Wedrien. I guess I had to take that final step. Well here I am. All those years later sharing those songs. Not because I think that I have an audience because I still don't. Not because many have even heard them after all these years because they haven't. But because I have something to give. And I may not be the best (someone once told me if I'm not the best at something that there is point in trying?) but because I have a voice, and the world needs one more good heart out there telling one more good story of hope. So here you go. Through tears and heartbreak, through even the feelings of knowing that my voice is not at the best it could be yet, but sharing it anyway. Here is finally Hold On, songs for mental health, worth and value. I will share in the comments my heart on the album. It should hopefully be released next week, perfectly in time for Art Week with Annandale Creative Arts centre. Because I have to keep fighting for my song, for my voice, and for creativity. Because if I don't do it, no one will. And somehow deep in my heart I know that even if one person is impacted it was a story worth telling.

14.01.2022 Haha isn’t this true!! I wish my life was a musical sometimes!!

13.01.2022 Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration. Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework. (T.A. Edison)

11.01.2022 When you just want to give up but you can’t. So you just keep going anyway hoping that somehow, in some way it’s making some kind of difference. And plus is the writing and sharing more about you or me? Sometimes the process is the thing that makes us. #laurenannpoetry #laurenannmusic

05.01.2022 New song I’ve been working on in its early stages. Should I keep working on it? Keep your fire burning, don’t get luke warm. Fan into flame the gifts that are within you

03.01.2022 It is not hard to compose, but what is fabulously hard is to leave the superfluous notes under the table (Johannes Brahms)

02.01.2022 Moments in our lives can make or break us. We get to decide. A bit of my story.
