Welcome to 2020! The start of the year is a time when many of us set resolutions to “improve” themselves. Sometimes we choose to add new things to our lives, sometimes we choose to take things away, sometimes we choose to make minor adaptations. Often to help us find a “new you” that we’re encouraged to […]
One month of 2019 has passed, and some of you may be fully immersed in your “New Year, New Me” resolutions. Some of you may have tried them for a while and decided it wasn’t for you. Some of you may not mark the new year at all, and some may periodically set new goals on […]
2016 has received a lot of flak for being a generally crappy year. On paper though, my 2016 has been a pretty good year. We sold our house after a stressful and drawn out process – hoorah! We settled into a new area in a house we love closer to family and friends. I’ve had […]
On the last day of the year for the past few years now I’ve blogged a review of my achievements during the year. 2015 however has been quite a different year and I want to mark it in a different way. There have been some great times this year, but unfortunately there have been some […]
I’ve stuck with my 2014 resolution of living for the moment, and have changed a number of things this year due to focusing on the present rather than the future. I’m still a reflector though, so the end of year blog post is one thing I have decided to continue. This is my seventh year […]
Another year has flown past and it’s time for my annual review – you can see previous ones for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. 2013 has been a funny old year; nothing particularly terrible has happened, but I haven’t felt as positive as I usually do and this has been reflected by a decrease […]
It’s that time of year again – time to reflect on the activities of the previous 12 months (see 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 posts). Here are some of my highlights from 2012: Top: My Emerging Leaders project group with ALA NMRT President (Janel Kinlaw, far left) and Past President (Linda Crook, far right) Bottom […]
I’m a creature of habit, so I’m continuing the tradition of posting an end of year blog post (see 2008, 2009, and 2010). It’s actually really useful for me to look back and see what I did each year. So, what has 2011 involved? 1. My ALA 2011 badge complete with ribbons!, 2. Louisiana State […]
[picappgallerysingle id=”302609″]Continuing on the tradition from 2008 and 2009, it’s time for my end of year blog post. As a naturally reflective person, I find it very useful to reflect back on my achievements of the year and consider what to focus on next. It’s also useful to look at my previous end of year […]
[picappgallerysingle id=”246905″]I thought I’d continue the tradition I started last year and end 2009 by posting a reflective blog post about the year. It’s been a year full of ups and downs, mainly ups thankfully – although at times it’s been difficult to focus on the positives, I’ve learnt a lot this year about myself. […]
