Resilience in Action at a CRI Partner Fund Raiser!

Theresa Barila 10/8/174:08 PM

If you follow our blog, you know we are celebrating "October as Resilience Awareness Month." One event which took place last night taught me the value of positive attitude, a stiff upper lip, and how to have fun while in the brainstem!

Valley Residential Services, one of our strong CRI partners, had their "Dancing with the WW2 Stars." Nancy Riggle, VRS Executive Director, asked me to help out. How do you say "no" to someone like Nancy? You don't!!

I chose neither the song, the dance, the outfit, the hairdo (oh my, the '50's) or my partner, but somehow it all turned out to be hilarious! I could barely walk on stage, but once the music started, there I went! And voila! A good time for all.

So- sometimes we are asked to stretch ourselves a bit, and see what we actually can accomplish, with a positive attitude and resilient mindset. But I won't quit my day job quite yet.
