“The months following my husband John’s arrest were like a Thoughtfully Fit boot camp. I had to make many hard choices and deal with crazy thoughts and emotions (mine and others!), so I worked to Pause and Think many times a day before Acting. I won’t lie—it was exhausting. It probably would’ve been easier not to worry so much about doing things right and instead mindlessly blast my way through the mess. But that would’ve come back to haunt me later. Thoughtfully Fit gave me the tools to come out the other side without extra emotional injuries to myself or others. While I couldn’t control what happened, being Thoughtfully Fit was how I recognized that I did control what happened next. That was a source of power: to explore the choices instead of being a victim. It also helped me access compassion and forgiveness.”

“She had forgotten how many minutes of motherhood were devoted to this question, even before Edith's accident. Alive now? And now? The deeper Edith's sleep the shallower her life, it seemed. The extraordinary stillness of a sleeping baby! Look for a breath at the stomach, flush at the cheeks. Then Luetta would leave the room, come back. She lost hours to the question. Alive now, now, now?”

“Often times, when in the throes of extraordinary pain, we want to give up on Life. We believe we cannot go on. Be wary of this downward mood spiral. In Life, as in cricket, it’s never over until it is over, until the last ball is bowled! And when it is over, when your time is up, you wouldn’t obviously be around to know what happened! So, why worry, why grieve and why be anxious? Live free. Live without worry or fear. Live in prayer and surrender. Remember: you are in Life’s safe hands! So, no matter what, you will be looked after, cared for and provided for.”
