This memoir was a simply lovely read. Was torn between giving it four and five stars. It starts with Galloway describing a series of photos from her childhood, and these loosely form the structure for the narrative. Slow moving and rendered in rich detail, there is no real 'plot' to this memoir - it is simply a beautiful portrait of childhood, covering the period from Galloway's earliest memories until the age of 11, as she grows up in small town Scotland in the 50s and 60s. I love This is Us and Chrissy Metz's Kate Pearson is definitely one of the reasons I tune into the show (well, I watch on Netflix). Chrissy has such a wonderful personality that made the performance of this Audiobook enjoyable and an easy 4 stars. The big but is that I really did not enjoy her "Bee Mindful" sections. Why do publishers feel that people cannot just write a memoir about their life? Why the need to turn everyone into an armchair self help guru? This activity is super handy for transition periods and will be extra effective at the beginning of the school year.

The sun drops into the ocean and splashes browns and reds and yellows and oranges into the world outside my window. A million leaves from a hundred different branches dip in the wind, fluttering with the false promise of flight. The gust catches their withered wings only to force them downward, forgotten, left to be trampled by the soldiers stationed just below. I read and listened to this one on audio read by Chrissy herself. First, I love her as Kate on This Is Us, and that she was so brave to tell her story. I'm glad I read the book and passed it on to others at work. An intriguing story asking if you were to immigrate to a new country and could only take what would fit in a suitcase, what would you take. I really had trouble with the change of voice throughout the book. It was really obvious on audio when Chrissy was retelling a personal event versus reading what was completed by a co-author/ ghost writer. Her speech was steady, she had appropriate pauses during her memories, and her language (y'all, girl) came through. When she was simply reading, she had vocal emphasis on odd words that makes it obvious that she didn't write that part. The psychopath in question winks at me from where he’s standing, smiling like he couldn’t possibly be holding a gun to the head of our mutual friend. I manage to suppress a laugh.I thought this wasn’t very good for people with a learning disability as sometimes we find it hard to communicate with clinical staff or have things we need to talk about which are sensitive or difficult. So I talked to the patient and liaison service (PALS) about how we could make things better.

In This Is Me by Jamie Lee Curtis, a teacher tells her students the story of her great grandmother coming to The United States. In telling this story, the teacher emphasizes how her great grandmother could only take a few things and had to decide what was truly important to her. From this story, students in the class are lead to discuss what is important to them and what they would bring if they were in this situation. Don’t miss the ‘Ask.Listen.Do’ session being staged at Expo 2018 on September 6 between 11.30am and 12noon as a mini theatre session on the NHS England/NHS Improvement stand. I assumed, when she invited me into this dressing room, that it was for reasons beyond me staring at the color variations in an unusually white wall. I assumed she wanted me here to see something. Chrissy is strong and outstanding woman. As usual, I never heard about her before her book, since I am rarely watching anything. I was very happy to find out who she is, reading about her past, and her rising to be a successful person, in a larger size than our media embraces. Chrissy Metz stars on the NBC hit show, This is US as Kate Pearson, one of the triplets. If you have never seen this show, you don't need to have, to read this book, but I think you might afterwards. This book chronicles her life from when she was a young child to her life today after making it on such a great show. It goes through her struggles with her weight and being accepted by family as well as outsiders. And her main focus is being happy with the person she is no matter her size or job.
