A welcome chance to have studying time in one of my favourite libraries today. Buzz of Edinburgh festival just outside, ordered loveliness of books inside. What are some of your favourite go-to spaces? #NewCollege #UniversityofEdinburgh
Perhaps you are a current or past researcher and you have asked such questions of yourself, too. Come and explore these questions with us this afternoon!
What a privilege it has been to learn from the insights of family carers & care staff in my research on freedom. Join us to reflect together on ways to connect to strengthen common humanity & community solidarity to benefit everyone.

Tickets are free and I've put the seminar link in the comments 😊
Great to have had the chance to collaborate on the blog and to be able to share it again this week. Mindfulness and (self)compassion can be so beneficial for us in anything we may be experiencing 😌 #community #wellbeing #commonhumanity #solidarity #listening #being #creativity

Insightful question, I wonder if it depends on context? One nurse might describe what they do as a calling, while another might not ever use that term--so it might overstep a line to tell someone their job is a calling, if that's not how they experience it, & vice-versa?

One of headiest scents in the garden, especially first thing in the morning - honeysuckle 🌱Flowering now, it’s a joy, a glimmer ✨Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. Looking out for glimmers during your day is a mindful way to cultivate gratitude and therefore, joy. #bloomscrolling #gardening
