I like that you acknowledge the stresses, the hardships, and the temporary fixes that may be needed in such times, with a focus on what sustains us through them--relying on one another, and on ourselves. It brought to mind some other inspiring, intangible qualities to cultivate: moxie and chutzpah. They may be close relatives of pluck. Thanks for the realistic and encouraging message.

Well that's just the thing, isn't it? It's the character trait we must draw on (or fabricate) to keep believing in (and promoting) ourselves, our creative work, our professional services, our businesses, our bright idea. Pluck – so we can keep putting ourselves out there, even tho' the rewards for our efforts may be deferred. What a lovely reminder Bev. Thank you. (And congratulations on your new website & blog!)

You've once again told it like it is! All too often, career professionals focus on the tools or tactics to employ to keep you buoyed up in your search. You reached to the heart of it. Very appropriate story and photo by Dorothea Lange about the 'survival at all costs' people and movement during the Depression. Your story really illustrates how persistence resides at the core of making it through adversity to the other side. You've blended both the gritty reality of facing daily struggles with the positive outcomes we can experience if we create a vision and have the 'pluck' to work incrementally toward our goals. Once again, a great message for all of us! For those of us in the profession who follow you, kudos to you. You’ve once again told it like it is!

Pluck: "courageous readiness to fight or continue against odds; dogged resolution" I've never known you during a time when *you* needed "pluck," but I would have been proud to stand next to you. Thanks for the inspiration. From Merriam-Webster… Pluck: “courageous readiness to fight or continue against odds; dogged resolution”

Online courses at UMASS Boston and a part time job in elder services are allowing me to keep moving toward my goal. While I may not find the perfect fit immediately, I am fortunate to be able to continue to head towards my objective. When the right position opens up, I will have training and experience on my resume. A note of caution to others on unemployment. When it comes time to refile for another year of unemployment benefits, a part time job may disqualify you. Who know the benefits would continue to be extended?
