Communication
Paige and Martha discuss the art of communication. Too many times we listen to people to be prepared to respond, we don't actually listen to what people are saying. In the CF community we need to be able to communicate with so many individuals...from family, to doctors, to insurance companies, and even with other CF Moms. Taking a step back and doing your best to understand what people are telling you could actually make your life much easier.
