She was in a bus on a Laos mountain road when a logging truck plowed right into the bus. She was sitting at the pont of intact. It took 12 hours before she received hospital care. Her story of resilience and "it was the best thing that ever happened to me" affirmation for the things she experienced after the incident is a beautiful story indeed. Also, have you read "The Survivor Personality" or "The Resiliency Advantage?"Molly Sieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03419305293130973311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-48060652315513609362010-11-29T10:12:50.441-08:002010-11-29T10:12:50.441-08:00I know - can't wait for FALL FOR ANYTHING!
I ...I know - can't wait for FALL FOR ANYTHING!<br /><br />I think of resilience as "bouncing back," which goes back to that "shape" thing. My real-life models are various childhood friends who've recently had to cope with family illness and who've been incredibly strong. I have so much respect for their coping skills.Micol Ostowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432601846296713150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-37910142144961608752010-11-29T09:52:27.786-08:002010-11-29T09:52:27.786-08:00I love Courtney's books.

I look forward to her next book, FALL FOR ANYTHING.<br /><br />Growing up, I greatly admired my mother's resilience. She made ends meet and she worked HARD to make sure that happened. She taught me I could do and be anything I set my mind to, no matter what.Little Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058463472836988047noreply@blogger.com
