#ResearchAdvent Day 7 Read and Day 8 Challenge Handily I tackle these together as actually, the reading has been a challenge! Also, the challenge of constant guilt - about not reading enough. #PhDsky

#ResearchAdvent Day 6 Joy Joy as a practice. Cultivated through intention and attention. Easier to say than do, for sure. Hence the word practice. Think bell hooks.

My weekend in 4 photos. Yours? I decided to set up a new writing space but that one job turned into juggling several🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂 inc repotting plants, dog grooming, laundry & some mopping. So that’s going well … Also collected the antique chair that I’ve had reupholstered. She’s looking mighty fine. #phd
