1. Took the whole Labor Day weekend off and caught up on reading and sleep (in order of importance.)
2. Am now at work on my application for a Guggenheim fellowship, which is a very prestigious and sought-after plum. I just ran across a not-so-encouraging item saying that as of 2006 only two people in the history of NC State University have received one of these. Oh, dear.
I didn't need to know this figure; I was already going to produce the best application I could. So I am now putting that potentially daunting info aside. I'm watching that miserable factoid slide out of sight.
Now back to boldly writing my Career Narrative.
Consistently keeping on is a crucial component in following any calling in life. It's more difficult, I think, than daring.

I'm imagining that factoid as akin to waving a red flag at a bull!
Red flags can definitely be inspiring, especially to those of us who are a trifle bull-headed.
Thanks for the encouragement, Greta.
Visualize yourself reading the acceptance letter, Peggy. Isn't that what the Olympic champs do before performing an award-winning feat?
Why is it that I can picture you doing anything that you set your mind to? Ignore the daunting statistics and make history happen!
Hugs,
Debbie
Bliss your heart, Debbie.
"Bliss your heart". I love that, Peggy!
