Samira Vivette: I will say everyone as a general answer just because I’m a big believer in consuming any kind of art that’s uplifting, but for those especially who may be feeling lonely, isolated, or in doubt of their self-worth, I feel this collection will resonate. Who do you think will be benefited from reading this book? With this latest collection, you’ll only be reading words of a gentle nature. Now that’s not to say the first book wasn’t a feel-good collection, but it did touch on some heavy themes. Lavender Love Notes is only comprised of feel-good poetry for the soul. Pastel Dreams and Glittered Hearts was intended to be a rollercoaster of emotions with many darker poems and prose blended with inspirational quotes and hints of nostalgia. Samira Vivette: The major difference between the two books would be the themes.

How does this book differ from your first book Pastel Dreams and Glittered Hearts? I associated the quotes, letters, and poems as ‘love notes’ because I felt they were exactly that: personal notes of love and encouragement. As lavender is universally known to represent healing and relaxation, and these were the emotions I wanted to encapsulate in this book, the rest sort of naturally fell into place. As for the title, it just came to me one day while thinking of purple symbols. Samira Vivette: From the beginning, even before I began writing this book, I knew I wanted the cover to be purple to accompany the first which was pastel pink. I wanted to highlight the importance of self-love, especially during the grieving, struggling, and learning phases of life, all of which are chapter themes. I wrote this book with the intention of providing a sense of calmness and relaxation for its readers, and it’s a gentle 200-page journey. Samira Vivette: Hey, thanks for having me! My latest book, “Lavender Love Notes” is a poetry collection comprised of poems, quotes, and letters to ourselves and the fears we wish we could address.
