What’s most challenging about it:

Skills you must have to succeed at it:

“Humility. A willingness to really listen. And perseverance.”  



Animal she identifies with:

“Texas horned lizard or New Mexico whiptail lizard. They represent my two homes, and they adapt. They can be timid when need be and camouflage. Or they can be bold and stand up and fight. They are resilient. They can have a loss — like losing a tail to a potential predator — and will keep on going and grow a new tail.”
