The Similarities Between Grant Writing and Designing Research
I took a grant writing course years ago before I ever worked at a nonprofit. The course work was engaging and the process a bit overwhelming for someone who had never been part of a nonprofit organization. Needless to say, I have worked at a few nonprofits since then and participated in the grant process. Generally, I worked on the back end of the grant writing process preparing grant reports and maintaining the records of assessments so that we could keep the grants we got. Luckily, I was good at this having found immediate similarities to my days in a social psychology research lab.

The Narcissistic Surprise
In March of this year, I found myself struggling with anxiety. Not only had the year been unduly stressful due to the pandemic waging all about, but I had been dealing with some personal issues that I found troubling. I have struggled with anxiety many times before, and I have learned both through training as a counselor and personal experience that like many issues anxiety is best dealt with when you first begin to be bothered by it. Left unchecked anxiety can limit your ability to function. Due to my personal understanding and experience, I did what I felt was the responsible thing and informed my romantic partner that I was struggling with issues and needed to take some time to care for myself.
