Creative questionnaires yield the most fascinating results about our beliefs, habits, fears, and dreams. Who is more deserving of a chance to share their personal wisdom and make self-reflection fun and inspiring than caregivers? “Q& I: Questions and Inspiration” is a series that spotlight’s a different caregiver through a Proust-style questionnaire.
Today’s featured contributor is Debbie Bowman from Colorado. Here is About Debbie in her own words:
I am a dedicated wife and mother who is driven, NOT defined by this thing called Duchenne. I desperately strive to live in the moment and enjoy every day; and I refuse to let myself look too far into the unknown future. I hope with all of my heart and dream big.
Thanks Debbie!
