About

I’m Lauren. I’m a mom. I write (for real). I sing (for fun… mostly in my car where I’m awesome. Ask the people around me at the stoplights). I dance (my child makes me). I play games. I have 3 degrees, most are in psychology.

    Lauren (Ann with an E)… thanks for checking out my brain leaks and musings (blog). I suspect we could have some loooongggg exchanges about “self-worth.” One of my greatest frustrations with the “self esteem movement” is the sense that it is somehow granted or dispensed and not earned. One of my more amusing conversations was with an alcoholic who was quite excited when he discovered he drank because he had low self-esteem. Of course he also noted that his “drinking problem” and the results were the reason he had self-esteem issues. He did, however, learn to convince a number of people that they needed to not criticize his drinking or resulting behavior because that was, afterall, why he continues to drink.

    Didn’t Ben Franklin say, “Ignorance is its own defense?”

    Congrats on the book… keep writing!

      Haha, that’s very true. I think lots of people state that because they have low self-esteem then they are this way or that and they do this or that, and use it as an excuse not to change, and to justify what happened. Just because you know the cause behind something that goes wrong doesn’t mean it wasn’t the wrong choice. Just as realizing what the problem is and not doing anything to fix it is simply ensuring that the problem will happen again. And thank you very much, I will try! 🙂

      Thank you so much! I really love your idea about your perfect day. When I used to counsel (and even with my friends) I would ask the question, “if you woke up one morning and your life was perfect, what would your life look like?” People couldn’t win the lottery or inherit money, they had to figure out what was really important and would truly want to do with their time. It was always a very productive exercise.

      Oh okay. That’s so awesome! I had a friend who was in the Peace Corps in Kenya, but he visited Nigeria and loved it. We considered trying to figure out how to create a program based on helping teenage mothers to creating a self-sustaining career through integrating psychological well-being and career skills so that there was stability in their lives. He worked in a program that did something similar to that, but fell a little short. Are there any programs like that in Nigeria? Do you think something like that would work??

    I was a foster child and now a filmmaker and a mother:) I love meeting other women that have filled their lives with art, children, education, and most of all that share what they know and what they have learned. I look foward to reading more of your blogs. Thank you for coming over to mine, I appreciate it. The stories I have are from true journals I had as a child while my cousin and I tried to escape the foster care system. It means a lot that you came by as I am new to this blog world and I am trying to relate, inspire, and bring awareness!

      You have a very compelling story.. I appreciate your honesty in sharing it. I wasn’t certain if it was true or not. I’m so glad you’ve found a way to overcome and are working to inspire others.

        Hi, Thank you so much! Yes this is a true story. My cousin and I were put in foster care at 7 years old. We had a journal that we sent back and forth to each other because they separated us. I also recently wrote my story into a screenplay and I am working on financing that now. It is all true, very very true and I can’t wait to put it on screen. Our abused children have been silent for too long. I definitely hope to inspire and relate to our kids, nothing is more lonely than not having others to relate to as a kid. xoxo, Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it!

        I have a friend who is a foster mom. She just went to a convention where they spoke with the state about the state of our foster care system, which is in complete shambles in MS. It’s heartbreaking. And unfortunately the state had no answers for how they planned to improve anything, despite having been told by the federal government to fix it by 2 years ago. Nothing’s been done, and those children suffer through it. My friend has one of the biggest heart’s out there, and I’m so glad she has opted to take in children who would otherwise probably end up in circumstances just as terrible as those they were pulled from. I really appreciate that you are sharing the story and shedding light on an issue that is truly overlooked today. I wish you the best of luck, and if I win the lottery, I’ll help you out 🙂

        Your friend sounds amazing, it’s not easy being a good foster parent, it’s heart wrenching and you feel locked in getting things changed. I commend her and others for trying and I hope for them to continue along with others!…Thank you for your kind words….I would say if you did win the lottery, I wouldn’t turn you down…haha”) A lot of my friends that are filmmakers always put in a lump sum when it gets high and they talk and dream of it happening for them…!

    I didn’t know you wrote a book! I have one already published, but I can’t share what it is because it is under my real name. This name is a pen name because of the content of my upcoming trilogy–Martyrdom Series; Soul Deceiver, Soul Collector, and Soul Savior. I found a good agent who publishes best selling novels…I was so excited! Between that and that agents can get you contracts with just about anyone, you get double advertising. I’ll get to travel and everything! I’m so excited. But, I’m more excited by spreading the message contained in the books–Repentance, Humility, Salvation.

    I made a post last night, and inclued an excerpt from my upcoming Martyrdom Series trilogy, the second book in the series, Soul Collector. The main character from the first book, Soul Deceiver, is quite evil in the first book, and has become united with the new world religion called Unity. In the second book, he is brought to his knees by YHWH (God) and becomes the Moses of the Tribulation Period..standing in the face of the false prophet saying, “Let My people go!” In pursuit of the release of the remnant (the 144,000)…for Lucifer to spirituall release the Jewish nation from their strongholds of unbelief so that they will find Christ, thus rising up and through them, a revival of millions. Anyhow, in this clip from my book, Khalid and Krista, the two main characters, are spiritually taken in a dream together to witness several events from the Bible..the healing of the leper, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and the stoning of Stephen. After all of this, they journey through hell and stand before the prideful Lucifer, defeating him in his own kingdom (which is not in hell…because Lucifer is not presently in hell, but shall be). Regardless, the excerpt I included here is from one of their journeys…where they witness the crucifixion of Jesus. I think it serves as a realistic reminder of the great suffereing Jesus went through for us, and how if we were to truly pick up our crosses and carry them on our backs, our lives would in the interim be less complicated. Let me know what you think! And God bless you!

    The first one will probably be out sometime this year, so I’ll keep you informed. What publishing company did you use, by the way?

    Thanks for checking out my blog and liking my recent post about Ridgewood. I’m enjoying my visit to your blog and will return soon to read more. I have only one degree and that’s in studio art. I imagine having a psychology degree goes a long way when writing characters, but 3 must take you places in the human psyche I can’t begin to imagine!

      Technically I have 2.5 degrees in psychology and one in PR. I took those courses so I could take a photography course that you had to be in the program for 🙂 And I think I over-analyze characters too much when I try to write fiction, so I mostly stick to non-fiction. I am wanting to work my way back into fiction though. I used to always write it when I was younger.

    Like you sound, I am learning how to do this blogging thing. You had visited my blog and left comment and contact. Tonight, I was just looking and I discovered I like your blog writing style, possibly because it is much like I like mine to be. Like writing letters to others about various thoughts, life lessons, and sharing of ideas; much like I understand Thomas Jefferson and John Adams did (as many others also). I will come here often to “listen” to your thoughts and ideas. When I figure out how I would like to invite to link blogs. May you have many blessings in your life and always be willing to share the lessons.

    Okay, I realise that you’ve received a number of very well deserved awards… but I wanted to make you the first recipient of my own Regeneration Award… because you really have provided me with some food for thought. You’ve not only gone through a regeneration yourself, but you’ve definitely helped me go through mine.

    Thank you 🙂

    I’ve added your nomination to this page: http://thelastsongiheard.wordpress.com/regenerations/

    I’d like to give you the Regeneration Award in recognition of your efforts to improve yourself and the lives of others. Brilliant! Molto bene! Allons-y!

    Here are the rules:

    Keep calm. Don’t blink. Firstly, you have to thank the person who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
    You have to state that bow ties are cool. And Fez’s. Welllll… if you don’t like Fez’s, that’s okay.
    Nominate one other blog for this award. Say thank you to that person. Just one person. It’s not a chain letter
    Answer the following questions:
    Who are you?
    Are you happy?
    If you could change just one thing about yourself, right now, to make your life better, what would it be?
    Who, or what, inspires you?

        Here’s how it usually works… you can either do this as a reply to the nomination here or as a separate post…

        Most people write a new post and include the graphic, but it’s personal preference. They just write something to the effect that they’ve been nominated for the award, answer the questions and then they copy and paste the rules into their post and name their nominee.

        They then go to their nominee’s website, post a comment to say they’ve nominated them for an award, copy and paste the award text and rules and, lastly, provide a link back to the post where you nominated them..

        Hope this helps…
