I like bj's def. of "a strong woman" and I agree with her. I would add some more: Confidence with kindness and the courage to allow emotions to wash through you, not wash you away. An ability to stick to your principles, but also empathize with others and listen well. To be persistant when faced with a challenge (or as TJ says "an opportunity") without being stubborn. To learn from the past and not become stuck in the past.
Xue, I was thinking about you and how patient you are. I think your years of experience as a martial artist makes you exceptionally disciplined with your mind and enables you to apply some of your skills to the DB arena.
I have learned very well what unconditional love is and I'm telling ya, it hurts. But there it is.
