I'm 61 what does that mean?

It means that I am a very fortunate woman to have my 81 year old Dad in my life.  I continue to work on my writing.  Three months to the completion of my first year in the doctoral program!  ~b

New England Winters

This time of year, I look over my collection of  flower photos from my garden.  It reminds me that in the depth of ice and snow, a bulb is resting, ready to come out in the spring.  I continue to take doctoral classes, refine my writing, learn how to balance life, relationships, and work.

Brain capacity

Sometimes when I think of the month of September 2010, I wonder how my brain contained all the events and learning that came my way.  I am so happy, tired, stimulated, exhausted, amazed! 

Think of the possibilities! My brainstorming chart for my Dissertation.

My first doctoral weekend was wonderful WOW

Hello,

I still can't believe that weekend of class is already over. WOW  is all i can say!  It is fantastic.  I love it.

I also attended a faculty meeting at Montclair State via Second Life.  I want to learn more about thee faculty efforts, struggles and tools that they use in their work.  It was very rewarding!
