In Memoriam: LawrenceCornellPhoto
Today the incredibly sad news that we lost our wonderful friend, @LawrenceCornellPhoto, was brought to the world by his wife Sarah. I'd known Lawrence for the bigger part of my dA-career, and we were fast friends from the early days on. We bonded over our mutual love for the Scottish highlands and photography, and we even vowed that one day we would take a trip there together. Lawrence has left a void. In my life, the lives of his family and friends, but also here on the internet, and on dA itself. Who knew Lawrence, knows he was one of the kindest people. He was always supporting as many people as he could. I don't even dare to count the amount of artworks he shared through his countless features. Back in 2020, he earned his Deviousness Award for just that, and boy, was he proud. He was always happy to share one of his beautiful photographs, often with a memory attached to them. In his Deviousness award, he is referred to as a pillar of the community, and that's one thing he was
It's December
It's December, which is my favourite time of the month. It's December, which means it's time to dream of snow, to dream of Christmas and Santa visiting. It used to be a very special time, I used to get actual visits from Santa, and actual snow. But times change, and so do I. The past two years have been crazy, surreal and incredibly difficult. Being a teacher in the midst of a pandemic, where we constantly swing from home-teaching to classroom-teaching, where students aren't well has been the hardest job I've ever had to do. Supporting students online is so much harder, and often, it's not enough. I see students slip, and there is nothing I can do. But aside from that, being a human in the midst of a pandemic hasn't been easy either. I've struggled, and I still do. I'm exhausted, and I am scared. I am done with the uncertainties we're constantly facing, and I hate that, due to my health, I am constantly at risk and I've had to isolate myself and keep my distance from everyone for the
Mid-February Thoughts
Hi there, my lovelies :heart: I hope you've all been doing well, and I truly hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season. I've once again been a bit on and off with my activity on DA, and to be honest, I am not entirely sure if that is something that will change in the foreseeable future. Offline life has been incredibly busy the last several months, and now that we're in the middle of February, I am finally starting to get some breathing room, which is very nice, and most of all; much-needed. I think I told you guys back in November (or somewhere along those lines) how busy I was with uni-stuff and teaching. I've been simultaneously working on my Bachelor's degree for English language, my Master's degree for English Language Teaching and next to that, I was also teaching the most delightful students how to use and understand English. I am still doing all that- minus the teaching. That was a temporary thing, and while it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed my time there, I am
Bye, 2020! Hello, 2021!
As we say goodbye to 2020, we stand at the beginning of a brand new chapter. While I am glad to make the symbolic new start, I also need to remind myself that a new year won't magically fix everything that is going on in the world. In this journal, I plan on having a look at 2020, and try to focus on some good things! They will be in no particular order, simply in order of what pops into my head. I released the first book in the Bubs' Adventures series After a few years of taking photos of Bubs, this year I finally achieved something I've been wanting to do for a long time: I wrote and illustrated a books about one of Bubs' Adventures. I love that I was able to share some of his adventures with you this year in both in written form. If you haven't yet, and you want to, you can get the book through one of the channels on my website. We celebrated one year of @GuidingLightProject This year, my dear friend @LadyLincoln and I got to celebrate the one year anniversary of
