Debe Maxwell, CRS - Adaptability is a characteristic you naturally acquired in nursing and motherhood. I'm not surprised it's one of your strengths. Through my eyes in reading your blog post and having had the pleasure of meeting you in person is you are open-minded, mindful of others, very creative, and RESILIENT! You're such a blessing to us all on ActiveRain.
