![I send love today, as I sit with these words from bell hooks: “To truly love we must learn to mix ingredients—care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication” (All About Love, page 5).

2020 is sure to tough, and so I resolve to cultivate and create with these ingredients: ingredients for loving and striving toward justice.

![Acting on my spell for 2020 , I’m noticing signs of support in everyday life and found this handwritten sign “You are appreciated!” at a local take-out restaurant, Burrito Brothers.
.
Living in DC, I feel close to the abuses of power that reverberate throughout everyday life. And this week has been tough. 2020 is going to be tough.
.
So, it’s really good to have relational reminders to feel appreciation in the midst of it all. (And I do appreciate this local DC restaurant.)
.
[Pictured here: My partner Jonathan and I are making silly smiles as we take a selfie, and the handwritten words “You are appreciated” are mirrored on the phone’s camera. My hand looks large in the foreground, and we’re surrounded by hot sauce bottles, tea bags, and the restaurant’s ambiance. Our smiles communicate the delight at signs of support in everyday life.]

![It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned this e-course, and I want to share it again because I see the transformations that come out of the course and coaching conversations.
.
Just this week, coaching conversations have addressed:
-- How to prepare for an academic job talk and likely Q&A
-- How to work through emotions blocking a writing project
-- When and with whom to share a job announcement
-- How to learn more about and begin using grading contracts.
.
I sometimes talk with folks who think career discernment is only for grad students or only for folks struggling or only for folks making a career change. Yet, my experience tells me that it’s for us all and involves reflection on research, teaching, and much more.
