Starting February with challenges
February is a month that is usually plagued with challenges. Not from the perspective of academia itself (my courses are well underway) but more from a personal viewpoint. For those of you who don’t read my blog with such dedication, let me inform you that February 1st, 2010 marked the 11th anniversary of my Aunt LJVL who passed away of sudden lung cancer. For that very reason, February is usually a challenging month for me. The wound is still fresh.
Also, my dance card is quite full. While I still haven’t published the post that announces that, for the period covering the Olympics in Vancouver 2010, I’m open for business (e.g. yes, feel free to send work opportunities my way, if and only if they’re paid!), I’m already almost over-committed and over-booked (in the social realm, not the business one, yet!). So, please understand if I haven’t returned your email and/or written about what we agreed on, I’m very busy with some personal matters. Mourning losses is never easy.

Sorry about your Aunt – the anniversaries of people’s passings is so challenging. I am still in the first year of my Mom’s passing and it is brutal.
