as we are cooped up in our homes.\u00a0 Be good to yourself, reward motivation in small, but deliberate ways.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Lesley<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text

northern hemisphere is heading into winter.\u00a0 Ideas have largely been about getting outside and keeping moving, taking advantage of available sunlight (with skin &amp; eye protection), seeing people safely, and eating well.\u00a0 This is always a tricky part of the term, midterm exams are arriving in many courses (not this one!) and stress levels can rise as we are cooped up in our homes.\u00a0 Be good to yourself, reward motivation in small, but deliberate ways.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: right;\">Lesley<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Behind-the-Scenes<\/h3>\n<p
