As is the tradition in our family, I make a Christmas card to send to our family, friends and neighbours which is, typically, a bit humorous and relates in some way to the past year. This year, needless to say, I didn’t get to make the card on time (I finished the written portion of my Literature Review exam at 4:30 Christmas eve.. ) so I worked on it over the holiday and it became a New Year’s card! It seems appropriate to share it with you all here on the blog given that many of you have become such kind supporters of my research over the past year so-a very sincere “HAPPY 2015” to you and yours!

And with that said, I will share with you that I have now received my next comprehensive exam question, Methodology. I will begin, over the next few days, the process of open-sharing the questioning/findings/struggles and triumphs of that research once more. Welcome to this next wild and wonderful ride, I am looking forward to getting started!
