Daily Yarns: Riding the Lockdown Roller Coaster of Emotions
Daily Yarns: Riding the Lockdown Roller Coaster of Emotions
Dealing with negative feelings and handling emotions is hard for people at the best of times. Doing so during the COVID-19 lockdown was a challenge for all of us. Maria Iliffe-Wood’s heavy workload disappeared on 17thMarch 2020, and with that came a plethora of emotions. With an abundance of time on her hands, she wrote a personal daily journal about her feelings and emotions, which she posted on social media. What started out as a fun way to pass the days became a personal account of her roller coaster ride of emotions. These personal entries range from funny to reflective, to angry and frustrated, sad and happy, to calm and centred. Maria did not shy away from writing a true and honest account of every one of the emotions she experienced. This book will make you laugh and, in places, make you cry.
Throughout, you can see how wisdom guided the author to ride the ups and downs of human emotions with grace and ease. And it wasn’t always pretty. The stories are authentic … and yet uplifting. It is a story everyone can relate to. Maria Iliffe-Wood has a wonderful ability to put into words the experience of so many people living through the global pandemic.

About The Maker: IW Press
My name is Maria Illife-Wood, I have lived in the Coalville area for most of my life. When the pandemic hit, I wrote a social diary of the pandemic and published this through Amazon. As a result, people began to ask me for help to write and publishing their books and IW Press was formed in 2020.
I write and publish books; mostly memoir with key life messages or books that will help to change people's lives, often written by people in the "helping profession". There is too much mental ill-health in the world and I want to help people find more grace and ease in their lives, through writing and publishing books that can impact positively on people's mental health.
