Thankyou to Ahead Ireland for the opportunity to deliver a keynote presentation about career guidance & transitions titled “Sink or Swim”. My one key message - we need to do & be better if outcomes are to be improved for people with disabilities. #UDL

Reading through the experiences of learners, putting the different stories together is so important; it takes time. Just like the waves at sea, each a little different, yet part of the bigger picture.

As I stopped and watched this ladybird for a while, I kept wondering why it didn’t just fly up the trunk. Guess it was determined to climb its own little mountain! 🐞

Delighted to attend the launch for the Centre for Inclusive Pedagogy Dublin City University.
Inclusion, so often considered add-on learning is increasingly moving to be a core requirement for all engaged in education. We cannot take inclusion for granted when exclusion happens so easily.

Thanks to all who were concerned if our house survived the fires. Amazingly enough... it did. My heart goes out to everyone who weren't as fortunate, not only in my neighborhood, but all of Los Angeles. Together, we will get through this! ❤️-mh

CAT ADVISORY: Temperatures in the UK could drop to -10c tonight. All cats should IMMEDIATELY find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell humans to bring you snacks and to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.

I plan to try to make my own bread and all bread products this year. So tired of throwing out bread!
Today’s offering - homemade burger buns for burgers.
Success!
