Last week, I was on vacation in New York with my sisters and it just so happened to be the same weekend as their national NEDA walk. Since my middle sister and I are both recovered from eating disorders, we made a point to walk in celebration of our recovery, in support for those at Magnolia Creek in treatment, and for those who need to seek treatment.
When we arrived at the walk I was excited to see my friend and colleague, Jenni Schaefer, who sang her new song, "It's OK to be Happy" for the crowd of supporters. It was good to see Lynn Grefe, the Executive Director of NEDA, who made a point to ask about some Magnolia Creek alumnae with whom she was able to work at the last NEDA conference.
It was a time of hope, remembrance, and celebration, and I felt so fortunate to share it with my sisters.
With my sisters
