Wild ambitions

 Here's someone I've been wanting to paint for a while, but I couldn't find the exact right quote to go with her until today. I love this—"anchored only by plans and not by doubts." Stacey Abrams has certainly acted decisively and with aggressive and wild ambition to turn the state of Georgia blue and get two venal, unworthy politicians out of office. In January, we will see if the organization she has built with the help of others dedicated to this purpose has been engaging and persuasive enough to pull it off and we are able to add Ossoff and Warnock to our major governing body. Since the fate of the Senate depends on it, I certainly hope so; but if for some reason it doesn't work, we can fall back on another saying of Stacey's, which is "Do not allow setbacks to set you back."
