Text of the page (random words):
visit my mother who was taken ill in hospital i was allowed to spend most of the day at the hospital with her but it was a traumatic experience i wore two masks at the same time just in case washed my hands obsessively and lived in constant fear of getting covid my children called me daily urging me to be careful fortunately my mother recovered and was able to leave the hospital and i never caught the virus but the fear was a dark shadow at my side shortly after i had to travel to munich because my fifth grandson had just been born if any of you flew in the summer of 2020 you will remember there were very few flights scarcely populated airport lounges and we weren t able to sit next to anyone anywhere in the building or on the plane plus of course the dreaded masks the silence on board was as ominous as the silence in the streets how i coped through it all i learned that we are stronger and more resilient than we think we pulled through in spite of the fear and in many cases loss of loved ones this proven resilience shows how much we can endure and overcome in challenging times how did i cope i walked a lot most days i walked 10 000 steps without leaving home pacing up and down the stairs and around my small garden as i chatted or listened to podcasts i couldn t sit still the nervous energy was overwhelming i started meditating and journaling daily a practice i still keep up reading on my kindle and listening on audible as well as writing filled many of my hours chatting to loved ones on the phone also helped immensely i watched films and series on streaming platforms and followed many youtubers fortunately i wasn t alone my husband was by my side sharing the same fears and struggles although at least he seemed much calmer than i felt but who knows we all express our worries in diverse ways don t we you ve got this the pandemic was a giant storm but we face smaller storms every day it s through these storms that we grow life s difficult moments teach us the most important lessons life is a miracle and we are all part of this miracle as long as we hang on to our hopes dreams will happen we did it once and we can do it again we can make the world a better place for us all however dark the night the sun will always rise at dawn we can make our lives a little better every day we can overcome the little storms that try to spoil our days compared to the great storm of the pandemic these are just puddles on the sidewalk you ve got this how did you cope during the 2020 lockdown and what lessons did you learn share your experience in the comments rate this

and hope rainy reflections crafting haikus in southern spain it s been raining cats and dogs for weeks here in andalucia spain a soggy rebellion against our usual 300 days of sun i m starting to think the clouds have forgotten they re not supposed to be here so long normally i d soak up the inspiration rain s a writer s best friend especially with a book by the window but even muses can overstay their welcome and my boots and raincoat are begging for a break this morning though i caught myself staring at the raindrops over my coffee mesmerised by the show the relentless little daredevils put on hurling themselves at windowpanes ricocheting off leaves bouncing off cars and umbrellas like ping pong balls i decided they deserved a tribute so i brewed up a haiku for all the brave drops trembling on the edge before they take the plunge what would you tell these noisy poets of the storm i m half tempted to whisper isn t it time for your siesta enjoy stay dry and take care by the way

life of mirielle west by amanda skenandore historicalfiction tuesdaybookblog today it is my pleasure to post my review of the second life of mirielle west an emotional historical fiction novel based on real events by amanda skenandore blurb for mirielle west a 1920 s socialite married to a silent film star the isolation and powerlessness of the louisiana leper home is an unimaginable fall from her intoxicatingly chic life of bootlegged champagne and the star studded parties of hollywood s golden age when a doctor notices a pale patch of skin on her hand she s immediately branded a leper and carted hundreds of miles from home to carville taking a new name to spare her family and famous husband the shame that accompanies the disease at first she hopes her exile will be brief but those sent to carville are more prisoners than patients and their disease has no cure instead she must find community and purpose within its walls struggling to redefine her self worth while fighting an unchosen fate as a registered nurse amanda skenandore s medical background adds layers of detail and authenticity to the experiences of patients and medical professionals at carville the isolation stigma experimental treatments and disparate community a tale of repulsion resilience and the roaring 20s the second life of mirielle west is also the story of a health crisis in america s past made all the more poignant by the author s experiences during another all too recent crisis my review where to begin to review this moving story i ll start with the end by telling you i cried and i haven t cried at the end of a novel in a very long time the setting is the louisiana institution known as carville where thousands of people were branded as lepers and forcibly quarantined throughout the entire 20th century it was a dire place where the patients suffered illness pain desperation isolation for periods of up to fifteen years or more the situation was worsened by the social and familial rejection they suffered and yet in spite of the horror the inmates and staff mostly religious nurses and doctors managed to build a community of compassion friendship respect and some such as mirielle even found love mirielle was not a likeable character at first and at times she became even more unlikeable and yet her character arc was so carefully drawn that it was impossible not to admire her resilience courage and ability to adapt to and even thrive in her new life her emotional growth led to a heart wrenching and uplifting conclusion which she would not have had had she not found meaning and hope in the most depressing place a person could be confined if you re up for an emotional and meaningful rollercoaster read it you won t regret it or forget it i listened to this novel on scribd follow this link to see all her books on scribd it was narrated by nicole poole an absolutely brilliant narrator especially because her male voices sound authentically masculine you can find amanda on

georgia rose whose previous novels the grayson trilogy and an author interview have already been featured in this author spotlight blurb a killer strikes the perfect family the perfect murders a family massacred a village in mourning can anyone sleep safely while a killer is on the loose laura percival owner of the stables notices something wrong at her friend s house when out on her morning ride further investigation reveals scenes she ll never forget while the police are quick to accuse laura is less so defending those around her as she struggles to make sense of the deaths and all the time she wonders if she really knew her friends at all a chance encounter opens up a line of investigation that uncovers a secret life one that laura is much closer to than she ever realised a killer strikes is a gripping domestic thriller if you like character driven action suspenseful storytelling and dark revelations then you ll love this exciting novel my review a killer strikes was a thoroughly engrossing read georgia rose grips readers from the first line and doesn t let them go until the very end when i started it i only stopped for lunch i couldn t put it down until i found out who the killer was and once the identity was revealed i needed to find out their motives there are plenty of domestic thrillers around many are good but not all a killer strikes is very well written and plotted the story flows seamlessly gripping the reader to the very end the characters are engaging and readers will no doubt enjoy the setting a rural english village which is an added bonus for those who enjoy a literary visit to less known and unexplored areas of the uk if you enjoy reading domestic thrillers you are in for a treat with a killer strikes and you ll no doubt want to read the
