Jocelyn is a former competitive figure skater, coach and current writer. I was very moved by her recent book \u201cMotion Dazzle: A Memoir of Motherhood, Loss and Skating on Thin Ice\u201d, which was described as \u201ca tribute to her mother, a love letter to her son and a testament to resilience as a caregiver.\u201d Jocelyn\u2019s beautifully written memoir captures her vulnerability, humor and relate-ability. We discuss how the book came about, her focus on one day that embodied both suffering and celebration, as well as the lessons learned when we take a leap of faith. The title motion dazzle, symbolizes a zebra\u2019s survival mechanism, a metaphor woven throughout the book, that represents Jocelyn\u2019s coping skills as a skater, mother and caregiver to her Mom. She acknowledges how our fanciness or frivolity can actually save us. I loved her book and was delighted to shine light on this gifted writer, who is also a gracious, inspiring woman.  Check out the Show Notes for links to Jocelyn\u2019s website, and social media accounts along with her NPR interview. Add \u201cMotion Dazzle\u201d to your summer reading list, and please leave a glowing review for this wonderful book!
