Chocolate Shop Epidemic

I'm starting a Chocolate Shop Epidemic!

Recently I had my poem 'Chocolate Temptation' published in issue 12 of Graffiti Magazine, then last weekend I handed over a framed copy of my poem to The Chocolate Emporium in Ilfracombe to be displayed in their shop. This story is going to appear in The North Devon Gazette next week.

This small achievement got me thinking...what if more than one chocolate shop were willing to display my poem? So two days ago I contacted Nutcombe Chocolates in Dunster and asked if they wanted a framed copy of my poem to display in their shop. They were more than happy to join the chocolate shop epidemic. So tomorrow I will be visiting their shop to hand over my poem, as if this isn't exciting enough...they have a chocolate fountain!

My goal now is to have my poem displayed in as many chocolate shops as possible including some of the ones that have made The Top 10 Chocolate Shops, including Harrods Chocolate Box and Melt which are both in London.

I am hoping to gain some media help to promote my quest. An appearance on ITV's Thismorning or Daybreak would be fantastic. It would also be great if my local news (BBC Spotlight SouthWest and ITV Westcountry news) got involved. The publcity would be fantastic not only for me but the businesses displaying my poem.

Lets start a 'Chocolate Shop Epidemic'!

Keep chasing your dreams!

I had a write up in The North Devon Journal, you can read that here - http://www.thisisnorthdevon.co.uk/Singer-seeks-producer/story-16633857-detail/story.html

My story has appeared in both EX33 and EX34 North Devon magazines.

So far I have raised £131 on my Just Giving Page, If you would like to make a small donation towards Cancer Research UK you can do via my page http://www.justgiving.com/Stephanie-Lott

My single 'It Wasn't Meant to Be' is now available to download from iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and eMusic, all proceeds go to Cancer Research UK. For just 69p you can contribute to this amazing charity, here is a download link - http://www.amazon.co.uk/It-Wasnt-Meant-to-Be/dp/B0091KFB22/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350380752&sr=8-1

I am still on a mission to find an established artist to record my song to help raise as much money as possible for this great cause. My next goal is to gain national profile. I will of course keep you all updated with the progress of this.

And just to finish, i'll end this blog with my official Cancer Research UK  single 'It Wasn't Meant to Be' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoXoptiiHpk&feature=plcp

Waves

As it is national poetry day, I thought I'd share a poem with you that I have written and hoping to have published. The poem is called 'Waves', I hope you enjoy it!

Waves

 

Our wonderful world is made up of days

A moon with its stars and a sun with its rays

But our wonderful world has got its own craze

It appears to have an obsession with waves

An ocean wave for us to surf

A seismic wave to rock the earth

A wave of joy at every birth

A wave of dreams for all its worth

A microwave to cook your dinner

A brainwave making you a winner

On the same wavelength as a sinner

A wave of tears won’t make you thinner

The Mexican wave when winning the game

Tidal wave, freak wave you’ll drown just the same

A wave of sound when calling your name

A wave of hope to banish the pain

Electromagnetic, a wavy disturbance

Tsunami, a ripple are waves of persistence

Heat waves, wind waves show their insistence

Light wave, standing wave, shockwave resistance

We enter the world with a wave to say hi

A wave of emotions when truth is a lie

A wave of sorrow for each time we cry

Then leaving this world with a wave of goodbye

 

Please leave any comments you might have, I'd love to know your thoughts!

 

Keep chasing your dreams!
