Original Contemporary Art :: Karen's Whimsy. Scrapologie. Hello friends, I've missed blogging and making art, but I never stop thinking about both. I've been exceptionally busy this year. I hope you've been well. For me, this has mostly been a year of learning to balance home, work, motherhood, friendships and health while still taking time to pursue some of my interests. Here are some of the things I've been up to this year: - Work has amped up busier than ever.
I've been meeting regularly with three mentors at work and have been researching a career change while maintaining my current job. . - As a result of the above, I've applied for the graduate program in Instructional Design and Performance Technology at Franklin University and plan to start coursework this January. - I was selected for my employer's regional Diversity and Inclusion Council, promoting cultural and diversity themed events at my company, in the capacity of an event coordinator. . - My little girl turned 10 this year. I am happy, and life has been good. Much Love, Ranjini. Andrea Zuill’s Blog. Rules and Specifications on writing and illustrating a Children’s Picture Book. 1.
