Chapel Talk, 2023 March 22 / Pam Pears

French teacher Pam Pears speaks of finding strength by putting one foot in front of the other and of becoming resilient by doing what you think you cannot, regardless of "how" you do that difficult thing. When Pam was diagnosed with breast cancer, her model for what strength and resilience looked like was evident in her late dear friend Traci's own 15-year battle with the disease. Ultimately, simply showing up and doing the thing you think you can't do even when you don't want to, that is strength.


"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." - attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt.
