Chic Assignment Check-In October, 2019




Welcome to The Chic Assignment check-in for October. Today is a Chic Assignment spectacular. Ben will be reading the 2nd half of The Raven and I will be playing Schubert's Serenade on the piano for you.



This is a longer video as I did not want to cut any corners, so here are the time stamps if you need to skip around:

Presentable sleepwear 1:43
Use your best 6:18
Edgar Allan Poe biography 8:19
Ben reads The Raven 17:03
Jennifer performs Serenade 22:01

The biography for Edgar Allan Poe is from the Poe Museum.




I perform Schubert's Serenade from a piano book that belonged to my grandmother. I always preface my piano performances by letting you know that my playing is full of flaws and errors, and yes, our piano could probably be tuned... but I share my performances to encourage you to just play! Play for fun. Play for joy. Play for beauty in your day. Don't worry if you have mistakes or bad tempo. Just play and enjoy without needing to be perfect, I certainly do :)

I truly hope you enjoyed today's video.

Comment of the Week
Katie writes, "Thank you so much for this reminder. I have taken a 6 month break from Facebook and noticed how much happier and calmer I feel during the six months. I don't feel like I'm missing out on things or that everyone has it together better than myself. Occasionally I'll take a peek on Facebook but I now know when I have been on too long because I become ungrateful.
When I start feeling ungrateful, I start singing "Count Your Blessings" and it turns my attitude back in the right direction.
I truly enjoy your blog and Youtube channel! You are a blessing!"



Dear Katie, I had a breakthrough moment where I realized I didn't need to post pictures of my children on Facebook if I didn't want to. I felt I had to keep up with birthdays, first day of school, etc. Once I realized that sharing wasn't necessary in that area, I have felt much freedom. I only share if I truly want to now and as a result, haven't shared on my personal Facebook page in several months. Thanks for your comment!

I hope you enjoyed today's video. I look forward to seeing you on the blog soon! Please keep your Chic Assignment updates coming. I enjoy reading them very much!

The Chic Assignment, October 2019



Welcome to The Chic Assignment for October. I have another favorite musical selection for you this month, along with some remarkable poetry & prose from a writer that fits perfectly into the month of October. We are also going to focus on sleepwear and using our best.



Chic Assignment no. 1 Schubert's Serenade
Another one of my all-time favorite pieces, we are listening to Schubert's Serenade this month. We studied Schubert last spring for Ave Maria and this month, I am so pleased to usher in appreciation for the hauntingly beautiful Serenade. Here are a selection of performances on YouTube you can listen to for free.
A beautiful cello and piano performance.

Chic Assignment no. 2 Edgar Allan Poe



This month we are studying the works of Edgar Allan Poe. I read the first half of The Raven in today's video and will read the second half in the check-in later in the month. Here is a list of his poetry from The Poetry Foundation . Also worth checking out is The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe.

Chic Assignment no. 3 Curate our seasonal sleepwear
As the season changes, we are good about curating our wardrobes and accessories, but what about our sleepwear. I believe it's important to be presentable always and that includes when we sleep. This month I will be doing a sleepwear post for inspiration. Meanwhile, assess your sleepwear. Perhaps get rid of anything that no longer serves you and purchase as your budget allows for quality, presentable sleepwear.

Chic Assignment no. 4 Use something you have been saving for later
We tend to save our best things for future events that rarely ever happen. That teacup that is collecting dust on the shelf, those pretty fall cloth napkins that you don't want to stain, that lovely blouse that is so perfect for fall, but you're saving for a special occasion... Choose something this month that you're saving for later and use it today. This will tune our hearts to using our best on a daily basis.


I am looking forward to hearing your findings from This month's Chic Assignment. Use the hashtag #TheChicAssignment to share on social media. Thank you for watching today's video
