Hi Jessi, I stumbled across Hello Monday a couple of years ago. Realized we spent time In Haiti at L’Hopital Albert Schweitzer (I’m Lucy Wilson, was a visiting resident doctor), but my recollection is-and always struck me— how you had to adapt to ‘radical change’ there, and adversity, as in, your job there ended up being really challenging in bizarre ways you couldn’t have predicted, and you weathered it gracefully. Anyway, writing to say I was impressed by your positive attitude and adaptability to the unknown way back then. hope all is well, xo

Lucy, how wonderful to hear from you! Thank you for your kind words. I remember thinking at the time that I had just finished college and had nothing figured out and you were just a few years ahead of me, but had so much figured out!
