In true Benedictine fashion, the sisters who meet regularly to exercise in the Garden Room—Sisters Therese, Michelle, Phyllis, Norma Jean, Mary Ellen C, and Jean—decided to offer their gratitude to Darcy Wells, the fitness trainer who recorded the exercise video they follow. The sisters wrote to her at the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg, FL, on whose YouTube page the video is posted. Recently they heard back from Darcy, who sent a beautiful card and inspiring message: “I cannot tell you how happy I was to receive your card and letter! …It touches my heart to know that you all are staying active and exercising with the help of my video. …God bless you! And keep up the three times per week workouts!” Any sister can join in the exercise at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings in the Garden Room.
