A quick note to thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay. Like so many of the women there, I can't begin to tell you how much I needed this. I so needed to get out of my environment (not just out of NYC but out of my rut) and be among people and nature. A week ago, I was in a kayak in the middle of the lake on a spectacular day. I also greatly appreciate that the roommate I was paired with was a perfect match. She did her thing and I did mine - she was very nice and thoughtful....A big thing for someone used to living alone.
I felt like I was the person I used to be and I hope it stays with me. The structured program was perfect for me. One of my co-workers noticed the difference.
For me it will be the behavior, behavior, behavior and the management of stress. I have been so personally and professionally unfulfilled for so long, that I turned my body into a dumping ground for food and other bad behaviors. I felt that while I gave up on my life, my life went on without me. However, when I got back, I felt a renewed sense of optimism and a strong desire to make up for lost time. I know a lot of work lies ahead.
So thank you, I will stay in touch.
Best,
