Reflective practice helps us to build our knowledge and experience, make sense of it, apply new insights to our work and find ways to share among our professional community – our...
It’s 1st of July and #blogjune is technically finished, but I really wanted to publish this post. Well, two actually. The last couple of days have been like the last few weeks. And things are not slowing down. Wednesday marked a very special anniversary. The anniversary of my hip replacement....
Since graduating from the LIS Masters program in 2013 I’ve embarked on re-discovering interests outside of my work and professional involvement activities. Some I let go to make way for study and some that faded away during a not so great part of my life in my mid-teens and I really...
I have 15 minutes before dinner is ready. Fiance is cooking tonight. I’ve just arrived home from work and barre class. I’ll be feeling it in the glutes tomorrow morning. But right now, I have 15 minutes and a glass of wine. I had so many ideas running through my head...
