Tuesday November 10, 2020

 


Enjoyed some yoga this evening while bumping Pandora's "Early 2000's R&B". I'd highly recommend doing the same after a productive Tuesday.

Pulled from the oracle deck this evening and lo' and behold, another subliminal thing on my mind:

RAINDROPS.

Take a chance on them.

I've accumulated a friend in my current boss, but as I've mentioned before she's transferring to a different facility. 

So my raindrops are my insecurities that I harbor when it comes to taking her position.

Director of Activities in a nursing facility during COVID 2020.

Can't be that challenging, right?

It actually isn't.

I've worked as an Activity leader and Assistant to the Director all during the last two years. I've even stepped in to the Director position for at least 1 month and a couple weeks in order to keep the department running when COVID hit those I worked closely with.

So, why can't I seem to muster up enough courage to dance in this rain shower that's coming my way?

I should be dancing in this rain! Spending time with my residents and being able to plan events for the upcoming month--one that holds my favorite holiday throughout the year?

What's holding me back?

Probably a number of things that I want to avoid.

So, this card has me thinking this evening--

a lot on my mind, surely.

My biggest thought, that Grammy would want me to give 110% to these people who need the holiday spirit the most at this point.

And I'd be happy--or my best attempt at it--to oblige!

Wish me luck!

An All Too Familiar House

          Not the usual suspense-thriller synopsis I've become accustomed to when reading Lisa Jewell's novels, however, I was entranced by this novel from the get-co. The House We Grew Up In centers around a mother and her four children over the span of a decade. The mother, Lorelei, has an extensive hobby of collecting items that harbor a memory of time spent with her loved ones. Each and every memory-- meaning each and every item she just happens to come across. Lorelei is in fact a hoarder and it does not get better with time. It gets worse. In addition to Lorelei's intense and overbearing lifestyle, her children forego their relationship with their mother and each other in order to gain a sense of normalcy within their individual lives. One of Lorelei's children committed suicide at a ripe age of sixteen and her other three were simultaneously impacted by the act tremendously. Her other son took to finding a thrilling lifestyle in all the wrong places...

Four-Walled Nightmare

I will always and forever say this - Lisa Jewell is the QUEEN of the suspense/thriller genre. I'm sure most who read her would agree with me in comparing her and/or referencing her written ability in crafting a phenomenal read to that of the infamous Agatha Christie in her time. Jewell's 2019 debut novel centers around a young woman by the name of Libby Jones, a competent individual with a safe, bright future ahead. Until, she receives a letter shortly after her 25th birthday informing her of a family inheritance worth a fairly decent price and then some . Jones is introduced to readers as the main character to follow, but other characters soon take stage in a plot-twisting novel where family ties don't always hold true with faith, love, and blood. Jewell has this astonishing ability to craft the perfect chapter, whether it be mere attention to detail, length of pages or strategic craftsmanship of paragraph and dialogue portions leaving the reader wanting more - causing th...
