Dear friend and colleague in fitness,

I’m writing with holiday music playing and feeling warm in my heart. 

I hope that this message finds you in good health, spirits, and frame

of mind.

I’m very grateful to you for a year of love, friendship, and support. 

For those of you I’ve mentored, thank you for the opportunity to see you grow.  To those of you who came to fitCamp in Puerto Rico,

what fun we had.  To those of you who purchased ANYTHING from the SHOP page on findlawrence.com, thank you for supporting my 3 charities (the homeless through the Sisters of Saint Joseph, the Biscontini Scholarship which sent someone to IDEA this year, and

our girl Aurora in Mozambique, Africa.
