In celebration of the new year, I've created a 'vision board' – a collage of images collected from magazines. The images I chose resonated with me in some way, and represent things that I want to cultivate in my life right now:
Courage
Nurturing
Health
Creative freedom
Guinea pigs!
Cleansing
Grounding
The semester is off to a good start. A centerpiece right now is the course that I'm teaching on the relationships among humor, art and advertising. How can I complain about teaching a class that makes me laugh? I'm also working on several papers and presentations right now for my doctoral research. Sometimes I find it hard to discipline myself in the process of setting my own pace for academic writing and reading. Freedom can be challenging!
This new year has brought me lovely experiences: a visit from someone very dear to me, but then in the same vein, a painful goodbye. I am also trying to learn more Finnish, establish new friendships, and enjoy the presence of two adorable female guinea pigs (Olivia and Mina) that I bought from a local pet store! Don't worry, photos will be posted soon. I just need to charge my camera battery.

Lisa - I love the way your mind works & its visual representation. I'm thrilled about your new guinea pigs, and yes, pictures are necessary. jan
