    You are such an inspiration. I love that you're taking your learnings to others who need them, I love the name of your class! I think it's so important to teach how to start, and how to keep going.

    You have inspired me and picked me up when I was feeling down. When you become a factor in somebody's success and life you can say without a doubt that you made a difference. I still wake up not wanting to face the day and its 18 hours of waking time but I know I have to. I think about my father who for 45 years worked 6 days a week and 10 hour days. I think about the people who would kill to be able to walk again. Motivation is funny in that it seems your mind works very hard to keep you down sometimes. You have to grab onto something daily to keep moving. You are that something today. Thanks!
