This is the time to wish all graduate and doctoral students a very happy and successful time in 2025!
Most of you have been working away at your dissertations for many years, and so if you're near the end, I hope this is the year you will finish your program and graduate. However, if you're not at the end of the journey yet, I hope that 2025 is a year of great progress and positive results.
I haven't posted for a while because, frankly, the last six months of 2024 has been very stressful for me personally, with a number of family issues and the loss of a family member. I had to put all my energy into coping with various demands on my time and stamina, and there were times when things were very difficult.
However, the New Year is offering me a chance for new beginnings. I joined a walking group today, I got a yoga mat for Christmas, I'm going to join a choir in a few weeks and a lot of the stressful issues of last year are sorting themselves out.
So as I wish others a good New Year, I'm also wishing that for myself. And what has always brought me joy and satisfaction is helping graduate students to complete their dissertations and cross the line. I was happy that a number of long-term clients successfully defended in 2024 (some after failing before they met me) and of course they are delighted.
That means I have openings for new students, so if you know someone who is lost and stuck in their academic journey, please refer them to me. post a message on social media or introduce me to candidates by email.
And also keep an eye open for my new venture for 2025. More on that soon.
