To our dozen

I was deeply touched by your heartfelt stories yesterday, and feel honored to be among such committed and vibrant women. Six of you have yet to meet our 12th, equally vibrant, member - Sara, who hadn't received word of the US Bank gathering but arrived at St. Luke's for the cardiac/dietary session. [Wonderful fruit and cookies at St. Luke's! Wonder if I'll ever get over shining my mental spotlight on food?] Many thanks to both Heart Association and hospital facilitators for your hard work. I will strive to justify it.
