Sometimes we forget about our talents, our achievements and our successes. Just remember no matter what you have been through, you are awesome. Tell us about your talent, an achievement your proud of, or something you are very successful at.


One of my biggest achievements was helping more than 176 fire victims rehouse and find their lives again. This experience taught me a lot about love and compassion that I had not experienced in my life. It gave me a very real look at our vulnerable populations and their special needs, and how to access resources to help them and that I never knew existed.

I can no longer run due to my heart, but I qualified and ran the Boston Marathon twice.

Wow, Thor, I only ran a half marathon once and I considered that to be epic. For you to run the Boston Marathon not once but twice is a major accomplishment.

Whew, 176 fire victims helped on your watch, Seouya, that's great. I went out during our pandemic lock down for ice cream at a Dairy Queen drive through day before yesterday. The drive through employee happened to be one of my nursing students in my community college where I teach bedside manner for dying patients. She was happy and excited to see me and bragged to all of her Dairy Queen coworkers that I was her great death and dying teacher. It was a nice to be celebrated like that. The ice cream was nice, too.

I am a good caretaker only problem is i forget to take care of myself in the meantime. I took care of my late (very abusive) husband for 19 months before he died after his car accident that happened 9 years ago today. I never once treated him with out love and respect and he had 5 TBIs and was quadleplegic and many other injuries plus type 1 diabetic. I never complained. If he wanted something he got it. Even though he was STILL controlling of me i never used it against him. I just took loving care of him and everyone said it shocked them how natural and good i was at it at only 26 years old. He died when i was 28. I can live well with the fact that i did everything i could for him. I knew he was dying the drs told me after the accident but i never told a soul because i didnt wnat him to find out and stop fighting to get better.
