Music is an
enchantment, that takes us far
away from our minds.

Harvest time/evening light
No. 1
harvest time
the crops are gathered in
nature's bounty
No. 2
evening light
softly muted,
seen through glass
No. 3
harvest time when
the church's fruits are
given to the poor
No. 4
evening light
melts into dusk
a candle flame
No. 5
harvest time when
the farmer works past the
evening light

#acrostic #poetry
Autumn brings chill filled air
Up in the cloud filled sky.
The treetops sway in the breeze,
Underneath, the leaves turn to
Multicoloured hues, hanging on.
Not ready to dance, then die.
Loosening their grip is inevitable;
Everyone will turn colour to die.
Awesome autumn sights reflect in
Very still reflective lakes and water.
Every soul gathers up its drum and
Stick to accompany this yearly drama.

#book #review
In Book 5, Forsaken Soul by Priscilla Royal, we are back in her well researched Medieval England of 1273.
Ralf the crowner is back and seeks the help of Tyndal's Prioress, Eleanor of Wynethorpe, Sister Anne and Brother Thomas to solve a murder by poisoning.
Eleanor's aunt sends a letter informing her that Brother Thomas is a church spy and she is hurt and furious at what she sees as his betrayal. Meanwhile she has to come to terms with her friend, Juliana being an anchoress at Tyndal and all the problems that brings.
As always, Priscilla Royal's storytelling draws you into the medieval world she has created in her Medieval mystery series. We delve into a world where women can seemingly only be virgins, wives, nuns or whores.
This series has 14 books in all and I am sure I will return to read some more in the future.
☆☆☆☆☆Highly recommended reading.

unscalable boundary
walls keep the world out
but you are a prisoner within
lower your drawbridge,
lift up your portcullis
let the stranger enter

bleeding tears
overwhelming grief
floods, heart, and mind
after all these years
sorrow lives inside

#book #review
In Book 4 of the Medieval Mystery Series, Justice for the Damned by Priscilla Royal is another trip into the Medieval world of the Order of Fontevraud a rare 'double house' religious establishment of nuns and monks which is run by a Prioress.
Eleanor of Wynethorpe is recovering from a near fatal winter fever and goes to the Amesbury mother house to visit her aunt, the novice mistress. Together with Sister Anne, the sub-infirmarian from Tyndal and Brother Thomas, they must solve another mystery involving ghosts who may be human, theft, and murder.
I love the world the author creates with her meticulous research and her wonderful story-telling ability.
☆☆☆☆☆Highly recommended reading.

NEW💖🪷What do we mean by 'challenging the narrative'? What are positive affirmations?
Challenging the narrative is calling out the negative that our ego keeps catastrophising our thoughts. In the current climate it is easy to give in to this.
Using positive affirmations challenges this train of thought. Write 5 a day and speak them aloud to your reflection in the mirror. Speaking words aloud gives them an energetic power. Make it a habit ( studies have shown that doing something consistently for 21 days establishes the habit in the brain.)
This is a good mental health exercise, it improves self confidence and can lessen anxiety and 'imposter syndrome.'🪷💖
