I can't tell you her name or show her face but there is a STAFF member who managed to read half of my 1st book whilst she had to sit and "watch" over a patient. (It was in the room of a patient I had gifted it to)
She went out of her way to tell me just how much she enjoyed reading my book and that she was going to get it from Amazon in order to finish it.
She expressed how grateful she was to come across it, commenting on the great wisdom I held. It was then that I could feel my mother within me wishing to speak with her.
So I asked her if it was ok if I brought my mother through. Immediately on the nurses nod, Emily came through with her thick accent, thanking her for her kind words towards her daughter! She went on to tell her a few things she needed to hear until the Nurses eyes lit up and dimmed again. "Can I please have Marie back now" she asked.
And just like that, in the blink of an eye Marie came back, my voice changed back and I said, "sure thing" I then commented at how profound that experience was for the both of us and I looked up at the cameras in the room commenting how funny it was to have this experience in a "psych ward" when normally to a psychiatrist, anything like this would be shunned and an immediate call for medication (tranquilizers) would have been instigated. 🫣🙄🤣
Books 2 and 3 coming soon! Remember, it's a trilogy people's. It's a trilogy! And shhh 😜🫣 apparently there IS A BOOK 4 .....but it's not by me....ha ha it's from Emily herself!
Love love love you all
