  31. LOVED your presentation. Art has always been a passion of mine and nursing is the art of caring. You mentioned real vs perceived limitations. One example I thought of is imposter syndrome. Thanks for speaking with us and sharing your creativity.

  32. You are truly inspirational. I loved the talk, the incorporation of the audience producing art, pushing some out of their comfort zone, and collaborating to create! In what can be a very serious profession I think it was just what we all needed to use something else in our minds and remind us to think differently. A call out to all of us to think differently about our (self or even health conditional) limitations. I am grateful I had the opportunity to hear you and work with you today. Thank you, truly thank you.

I would like to add to my biggest challenge which I wrote “birth” because after having 4 pregnancies 3 resulting in live births I am faced with the decision to have one more which is my dream or wait to continue to grow our family due to financial debt that makes the decision of continue now unwise. Thank you for giving me space to write this down and speak it out loud. This is the limitation that I will work through to find Gods will in this area and season of my motherhood journey. Thank you for sharing your story with so many!
