Book Description
LOCKDOWN! That shocking word ushered in a surreal time for Lois Larkey. It was March 11, 2020, and there was a pandemic, a killing virus, the first in one hundred years. Like everyone else, Lois had to shelter in place, wear a mask and totally separate from friends and family. Living alone in her apartment she was afraid of catching Covid-19 and dying alone in a hospital. She had to find something that would help her work through her fears. The idea of chronicling the tragedy, brought on by a virus and exacerbated by a divisive president, was compelling. Lois began writing her blog, The Larkey Lowdown, with an eye to capturing unfolding history. The election of 2020 brought a bizarre rejection of the longtime American tradition of “peaceful transfer of power.’ Lois kept writing. January 6th brought the violent storming of the Capitol in the name of the president who lost the election. Our democracy was threatened. Lois, horrified and heartbroken, kept writing. January 20th, the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris, brought a new administration and hope for the future. Inauguration Day signaled an optimistic time to lay down her pan and search for perspective. Diary of a Dystopian Era is a fascinating collection of Lois Larkey’s blog entries that describe the tumultuous events of the years 2020-2021 in real time.

Book Description
99 simple activities, concepts, encouragements, ideas, tips and tricks that an individual can use (without management approval!) to improve their organization. The original definition of entrepreneurship is "creative destruction." (Joseph Schumpeter, 1942). Famed management consultant Peter Drucker said, "the entrepreneur upsets and disorganizes." This is important to hold in mind when you consider the future of work and the emergent version of your workflows, your culture and your company. The intrapreneur acts in exactly the same way inside the organization as the entrepreneur does out in the marketplace. They seek to move out in all directions, beyond their job title, to change, upgrade, and energize everything, where they can. They do so through experimentation, placing small bets, working collaboratively through networks, with courage and curiosity to the fore. The intrapreneur disorganizes their company. To do so is exciting and fun, but also challenging and tiring. Disorganizers need encouragement, direction, concepts and activities. And this book is here to help: 99 simple tips, tricks, ideas and encouragements that will help you make a bigger difference at work. Guaranteed!

Book Description
A wonderful and inspiring memoir of a devout woman seeking meaning for years of chronic pain, and searching for inner peace as she pursues the presence of God in her daily life. Her honest conversations with God and her inner vocal critic, lead her to a community of Camaldolese Benedictine monks living along the California coast. Their gentle and loving nature, their willingness to listen and share encouraging words with Lois, help her to move down the path and find her way home. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a closer and more personal relationship with God in the midst of physical and spiritual struggles. This book would also be of value to those who care for the terminally ill.
