Just awesome.

Amazing, Clare. Sending love and best wishes to my fellow strong veggie woman (I think, right?). We are here for you. XOXO

Have you read the poem The Guest House by Rumi? I always turn to it when things don't look so rosy.

Seriously, Justine?! That is my go-to poem in those moments, too.

Roz, I think of the sentiment in that poem almost every day, and try to live by it. Not always easy to believe when the panic sets in, though. How amazing we should both have the same go-to.

OK, now I'm really gong to have to check this poem out!

Good luck, Clare. I hope that 2016 is a better year for you. It sounds like you are already on the path to taking charge of how you deal with life's adversities. It's certainly easier said than done, that's for sure. It's a good reminder that, while we don't have complete control over all the things that happen to us or around us, we have more control than we think over how we react to those things. I have to remind myself of that frequently.

The video fitness community is generous. I had a complete stranger PM me once, offering to send me a couple of workouts to try since I had mentioned in a post that I was on the fence about getting them. Turns out I didn't like them, so in the end, I was only out the money needed to send them back to her.

Thanks to everyone for reading and for sending best wishes, hugs and all-round support. It is all much appreciated and my heart-felt thanks go to you all. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

With all that's been going on around the world, you just restored my faith in humanity. Enjoy! Hope your 2016 shines!
