Just Keep Following the Heartlines on your Hand

  • Chapter
Being “In and Out”

Abstract

This chapter shares a personal journey; one that has hit lots of bumpy roads along the way. But in the words of singer-songwriter Florence Welch I have managed to “keep following the heartlines on my hand”. It took ten years since gaining my Ph.D. to get a continuing role in academia – and I love it! There have however, been many challenges in getting there, but now that I am there I am beginning to realise that there are many more challenges to come.
