2016 in Review

December 28, 2016 By Johanna Baker-Dowdell Leave a Comment

It is late December and as I’ve done for several years I’ve been reviewing what I’ve achieved throughout the past year.   For a year that has been difficult personally for many I know (and with the loss of so many important icons), I have to admit I’m looking forward to waving goodbye to 2016 in a few days. However, it has been a good year in other … [Read more...] about 2016 in Review

The Pursuit of Knowledge

January 29, 2016 By Johanna Baker-Dowdell Leave a Comment

Like so many others I like to start each new year by thinking about what I’d like to achieve in the next 12 months. I always have a list of goals, which span personal and professional aspirations. For the past few years I’ve set myself a word as the theme for year, with each goal radiating from that one idea. My word for this year is “knowledge”.   A friend pointed … [Read more...] about The Pursuit of Knowledge
