Over the years it has become important for me to read books that allow me to better understand the experiences of people whose backgrounds differ from my own. I have come to appreciate the wealth of voices that are available in both the fiction and non-fiction spaces. I am fascinated by what I can learn …
Note from Lois: This week I’m thrilled to have a guest post written by Emilie Brown from the company Continual Engine. I love receiving requests to share relevant articles from others in the same field that I think will be of value to my readers. When I chatted to Emilie and learned a little about …
I first started blogging ten years ago. In that time, I’ve created more than 530 blogs in which I’ve shared stories about my life and work. Sadly, it is a reality of my world that my blog is the first thing to be sacrificed if I’m pushed for time over a given week. Perhaps it …
