Thank you Rachel. I’ve grown to greatly value your ability to help people vision a path forward. I’ve used SMART goals in my work with communities, and have also discovered their usefulness in navigating the medical world. I wrote the 5 Ps on the cover of my medical journal.

You’ve shown me the importance of not losing sight of the need to reflect, process, and plan each day when dealing with longterm pain and health issues in order to not become frustrated and maintain focus and hope.
