Figuring out adding a blog on my website

Here we go!

It is almost 2025. I will be 40 this year. I have 3 kiddos: 4-8-10 years old now. I am working as a research scientist, lab manager, clinical research assistant at VCU and also taking courses for a Master's Degree in Biostatistics with a Genomics focus.

I feel like this is what keeps me going: finding meaning in biological data with hopes to help humanity, learning and sharing what I just learned.

This year, I also increased the number of books I am reading. Recently I finished Atomic Habits, 12 Rules for Life, The Job Closer, The 2-Hour Job Search, The Professor is in, How to Write a Lot, The Housemaid, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Better Small Talk, 4 Essential Keys to Effective Communication, Fight Right.

From Steve Dalton's book, I learned about the Strengths Finder Quiz on Gallup. I discovered my 5 top strengths: Learner, Responsibility, Harmony, Connectedness, Futuristic.

I believe future holds great things for us, if we keep building layers everyday. To make this work with the best potential for myself; I should keep learning, make promises for progress, live and work in harmony, learn to manage conflict, see the bigger picture and connections and think about the future as I get overwhelmed with what the day holds.

Hoping that 2025 will bring wisdom, happiness and all the things you need.

Hope to keep in touch!
