Hey Beth,
I felt that same spark of curiosity and excitement when you and others asked me for advice! I’m sorry you’ve been hit with illness and hope that you’re feeling better now. I think your strategy to focus on the current assignment is great — there’s no reason to worry about the end. You said yourself you’ve enjoyed the work, so just keep doing what’s in front of you (I’m speaking to myself here more than you, lol… thank you for the reminder)!
Also, I smiled when you wrote about your heart singing. My unsolicited advice would be to really listen to that passion. And ask if your current project idea is really what you want to spend your energy on.
Looking forward to hearing more in class today š
