I thought you were a great gift to statistics education and now you are a great gift to something else! I went the other way -- left engineering to teach statistics!-) <br />http://amstat.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10691898.2016.1165024Bob Haydenhttp://statland.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120274448163490494.post-64904338529582250962013-08-06T15:21:16.221-05:002013-08-06T15:21:16.221-05:00thanks for this kind comment. your blog looks quit...thanks for this kind comment. your blog looks quite interesting.Joy Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233219602274021299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120274448163490494.post-25122371939250026712013-08-05T21:42:31.458-05:002013-08-05T21:42:31.458-05:00Brilliant stuff...

I lost my passion. I jumped ship. What I am finding is that I am now experiencing a voice that I did not know existed and it feels very, very good. Yes, there are the scary times and the doubts, but all in all, life is very good and I know that when I die, I will have left no stone unturned!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120274448163490494.post-66939306613322621302013-07-26T13:40:52.761-05:002013-07-26T13:40:52.761-05:00Beautiful, Joy.

Opportunities keep showing up. I am earning enough money to be safe and comfortable. I make a lot of art and write whatever I want, without a single citation :). It is a glorious path you've stepped on. I'm so proud of you. You will be well, all will be well.

You were one of my most inspirational professors in your first year at Lawrence (I still talk about you to everyone who complains and stresses about a statistics class) I cannot wait to see what inspirations you will give and receive in this, your first post Lawrence year. -Your student in life.Kaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164274217245318008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120274448163490494.post-24048603329090400022013-06-18T10:43:24.627-05:002013-06-18T10:43:24.627-05:00Elke, so sorry to hear about the tears and pain (a...Elke, so sorry to hear about the tears and pain (although I completely understand it's part of life).

I loved to hear you say every single word. (currently reading the book you mentioned by Pema Chodron, as I took it with me from the library some days before I read this post) Wishing you all the best on your journey Joy!

Yes, Tony's introduction was unforgettable. As you could tell, it brought me to tears, which I just let flow. That was actually a very authentic way to enter the speech. And, yes, I did enjoy my time at the podium. The whole service was really meaningful and one I'll always remember. <br /><br />Enjoy the alps!Joy Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233219602274021299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120274448163490494.post-66844376692852212912013-06-09T09:05:24.625-05:002013-06-09T09:05:24.625-05:00Joy, I was lucky enough to be able to watch the li...Joy, I was lucky enough to be able to watch the live stream last evening in Switzerland! I was talking with my dad about his 1/2 marathon on facebook and LU posted a link to your address. I was glad it worked out. So beautiful, authentic, touching and inspiring. You definitely seemed to be enjoying it and the gentleman who introduced you did a marvelous job. :) Happy Graduation! I'm currently on a train to Austria-- the Alps are breathtaking!
