Some days stay bright long after the sun has gone in. A song from the setlist comes on weeks later, and suddenly the whole afternoon returns: the warm grass, the shared sunscreen, the group chat chaos, the person who knew every lyric, and the moment everyone forgot what time it was. That is the magic of sunshine, music, and good company. None of it has to be polished. The best memories often come from slightly squashed sandwiches, muddy trainers at an outdoor gig, queueing fo

Hey hun, How’s you doing today? I’m good because yesterday my 86th book was published on my website (the website that you’re reading this blog on: www.lauramaccommunity.com) Today I checked my website bookshop out and I was reminded that I’ve written 3 books about the Very Happy chick Lizzy. They are: Lizzy has a fab life right from the start – how about you? How to put a smile on your face, with ‘Lucky Lizzy’s help’ Lovely Lizzy loves life. Discover how you can love life too

If you live in a nice, happy safe place where you can be who you want to be, hopefully you have some funds to help people who are from places that are the opposite to this. Such as those having to live in torture zones etc. This blog post is introducing you to Freedom from Torture - a charity who helps those in need of help to survive & be happy. Freedom from Torture supports people who have survived torture to heal, feel safe and strong again. Their vision is a world free fr

When I went to Thailand as a stop on my world travels in my 20s (lucky git I hear you say – he he!), my favourite thing there was the stunning, very healthy & tasty food that was available in most places I visited. This includes little café type of places on the beach and restaurants often ran by families in the small towns all over Thailand. When I got back home to the UK I wanted to go to Thai restaurants, but I had no joy in finding any, let alone excellent places I could

If you're like me you care about all beings on our shared home = Earth. If you care about animals, you'll be a member of (donate to & receive news from) WORLD ANIMAL PROTECTION. Very recently they sent me a booklet called 'INSIDE THE WORLD OF ORANGUTANS' And what I read about that is happening to Orangutans horrified me & really upset me. One of the stories I read about in the booklet is about 'Seumayam' He is a Sumatran orphan. He was stolen from his mother when he was a chi

Please trust me these 3 TV shows will make you feel very happy while you watch them. Chesapeake Shores This is about a lovely lady who is divorced mother of 2 kids – she is confronted with memories of her troubled past when she visits her hometown in Chesapeake Shores to help her sister renovate their ancestral shores. The story is very well told by fab actors and they’re all externally beautiful. Especially male actor Jesse Metcalfe. Sure, I watched it because it is a fant

I don’t know about you, but I find that if I’m having a bad day, so I’m in an upset mood, listening to clubbing 'TUNES' (music) & having myself a boogie to them always cheers me up = it puts a smile on my face. As the famous song says: Music is the answer (to your problems) & it really is. Give this song & as many as you can that you find on this blog post & shake your thing to them. Please trust me you’ll be loving life while you have yourself a boogie to these 'TUNES' that’

If you’ve ever had anything happen to you, that made you step back from the way you usually live your life. Now you being around people might seem like an overwhelming thing to have to do, because you’re not sure how or who to be any more. All you want is for people to like you and for you to be the popular, fun person you used to be. E.g. In 2014 I had a very serious accident happen to me. I was hit by a car at 50 mph and my full recovery took many years. Before my accident

I don’t know about you, but I take it for granted that I can drink water whenever I’m thirsty here in the UK. It doesn’t matter how much money you have here in the UK, water is easily accessed in most homes. If you don’t have it at home, because you can’t afford your house’s water bill, there are plenty of churches and community groups who are here to give people glasses, jugs & flasks of water to drink & to use when cooking, e.g. boiling vegetables and making gravy or sauces

If you’re like me, I had to look up on the internet where Honduras is – because I’d never heard of it before. I found out that it is in the heart of Central America. I think it’s important that all of us know where it is and what it is up against – so we can help the people there by donating money, or your time by volunteering at community centres and / or schools there. Helping them out is important so the people (especially the children there), can spend their time enjoying

Don’t you just love it when the kind of day you’re having is making you love your life? Today I’m loving life for a few reasons – why don’t you see if you can make a list of reasons you’re (hopefully) feeling happy today: 1 st ) I’ve DJ’d very well (even if I do say so myself) on my Technic’s 1210s DJ decks. I loved the tunes I mixed and because I loved them, I mixed them very well. I had a right good party for 1 in my dining room (where my DJ decks live). I pretended there w

Finding truly unique books can be a challenge. Many readers crave stories and insights that stand apart from mainstream offerings, but often these treasures remain hidden behind crowded bookstore shelves or lost in vast online marketplaces. If you want to explore original works crafted with passion and care, you need a destination that offers something different. That’s where my Wix website, www.lauramaccommunity.com , comes in. Here, you can discover a collection of exclusiv

Orangutans, Elephants, Tigers, and forests are at risk of not existing anymore. The Orangutan Project has a ‘Theory of Change’ Why It Matters Shrinking forests, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict is putting many species at risk. Disenfranchised communities, competing for limited forest resources, also face growing conservation challenges. To secure healthy wildlife populations and empowered communities, we must tackle these issues head-on. What It Does Our Theory of Chan

You might be thinking: ‘Who are SMILETRAIN & why should I give them a smile?’. SMILETRAIN is a charity that funds operations & appointments for children who have clefts. They pay for these things in countries that aren’t as lucky as us in here in the UK are = because we get free treatment through the NHS. Recently I received a hello & thank you letter from SMILETRAIN, for donating a small amount of money to them. I say ‘small’ because all I can afford to donate is £15.00 a mo

Lots of beings need support on Earth - don’t you think? I used to give to loads of charities (online) that it left me quite skint a lot of the time. So, I had to reduce them to 10 charities who I donate to each: month or week. Choosing who to stop donating to was very a tough task to do. It made me cry, because I felt like a mean person when I chose which charities to continue to donate to = those beings that I thought were more in need out of all the charities I supporte

If you want your mind to be blown away, by watching some of the UK's most talented kids doing their thing on TV. Then click on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4SMPDHNutY I watched it on my own and gave all of the acts you'll watch on YouTube (in the link on here), a standing ovation...I bet you will too. x

To be kind to yourself, have a ‘Me’ day – when you treat yourself to do things that make you feel very happy by: · Planning ahead to avoid obligations. · Allowing for guilt free rest. · Pampering yourself – have a very long bath to feel luxuriously clean & chilled out. Give your feet a massage that they probably deserve to have. This will be you having a spa day at home. · Engage in hobbies that bring you joy E.G. ‘Me’: dancing to music, cooking myself a

If you fancy having a fun time with your friends , you could get away from it all by going to Bristol / Bath for some fabulous glamming that has a hot tub. You’ll have a private party room & there are plenty of activities to do. Sounds like your kind of thing? If it does go to: www.weekend inthecountry.co.uk For a health kick – to lose the pounds you might have put onto your body over Christmas time = too many minced pies & chocolate – whoops, but lush hey! You could go on

I don’t know about you, but I want to help others out all the time, but especially at this festive time of year. It must be very difficult to live in a happy way when it seems as if life is going very badly for you. I’m a bit skint some of the time at the mo, but if I have to go without somethings that I feel I need because they either stop me craving & me having a smile on my face e.g. music on vinyl (I’m a DJ), or chocolate to have a sugar in me fix, and – Nicorette sprays

Thank goodness Children in Need 2025 raised more than £45 million pounds. Phew because currently it can only afford to support 1 out if 6 support groups for children who really need support. Let’s hope now it can financially support all 6 places fir children to be for them to be supported. It was the charities 45 th Appeal show. It first started a year before I was born in 1980. My best friend Rhiannon and I did a baked beans bath for this charity back when we were 10 yea
