How do I add an exception for invalid input?

I am new to Python, so this is probably a dumb question to many here, but in the following code, how would I go about adding an exception, so that should someone enter say a word for instance, that would handle the invalid input and continue to ask, 'Take a guess.'?

import random
secretNumber = random.randint(1, 100)
print('I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100.')

for guessesTaken in range(1, 11):
    print('Take a guess.')
    guess = int(input())

    if guess < secretNumber:
        print('Your guess is too low.')
    elif guess > secretNumber:
        print('Your guess is too high.')
    else:
        break   # This condition is the correct guess!

if guess == secretNumber:
    print('Good job! You guessed mu number in ' + str(guessesTaken) + ' guesses!')
else:
    print('Nope. The number I was thinking of was ' + str(secretNumber))

I believe what you are trying to do can be accomplished with the input as follows:

guess = None
while guess is None:
    try: 
        print('Take a guess.')
        guess = int(input())
    except ValueError:
        pass
