What resilience means to her
Yolanda: “The research and my experience that resilience is a verb, gives me peace and focus. Sometimes it’s the everyday toughness of matters that require practice in enduring & tolerating, lightening & strengthening and forward learning. Then again it’s about big decisions or life events. To me, resilience stands for lifelong growth.”
