So I create and train AI for wellbeing and often ask the AI about challenges I am facing to see how it responds. I am dealing with some loss personally and professionally so I asked AI how to deal with it. The answer was quite beautiful: ‘let it reshape you, not defeat you.’

Great article about the value of supporting neurodivergent teachers to create inclusive education environments. While it’s not always easy being openly ND, as I neurodivergent lecturer I find being visible makes it easier for students to be themselves: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/posi...

The Key to Neuroinclusive Education: Neurodivergent Teachers
Neurodiversity inclusion at schools is a must. But if neurodivergent teachers aren’t included and heard, how can they create supportive systems for neurodivergent students?

It’s not always easy to live in the present, sometimes it takes a while to process feelings and be ready to let go. Still I think it’s worth trying to live each day fully rather than living yesterday on repeat, especially at the weekend.

One of my students said she is off to Tenerife for Christmas. Think this is definitely one of those times when the teacher could learn from the student given the UK weather today! Luckily not as badly affected as some though. Hope everyone’s ok: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Took my dog on his first train ride. It was a bit optimistic to think I would read my book as he made friends with everyone in the carriage. While the book was never opened, was lovely to see him make so many people smile.
