Rachel - thanks for sharing and allowing others to learn from you. It makes sense that part of your success was being helped to see the need to focus on yourself in order to reset your mind and body, which appears including you taking a sabbatical from Connect for awhile back then (before I found Connect)
You no doubt understand the stages of grieving we go through on here, and you have been wonderful in staying positive and helping us stay focused on positives than using our valuable energy being negative. I can see where a lot of us, myself included, can pull others more down at times instead of up. Thanks for being part of the good group of coaches on here that have overcome the negativity and are sharing your energies in helping us overcome ours!

@dbeshears1 Debbie - you are very welcome and I can't thank you enough for such kind words of appreciation and gratitude. It's nice to know that what we mentors do here on Connect is well reciprocated and appreciated.
Undoubtedly, we have all grieved our losses, and can either choose to stay in the grief mode, and let life pass us by, or we can work to find strategies that help pull ourselves up and forward to make the most of what we have. You said it perfectly, " I can see where a lot of us, myself included, can pull others more down at times instead of up". At pain rehab we are taught to "pull in the viewfinder". Mindset is everything and it does take hard work, there's no denying that.
Thanks again, Debbie! I'm happy you're hanging out with us on Connect, and I look forward to sharing "our" positive energies to continue helping ourselves and others overcome. Keep hope alive!
