While the “100 day rule” is no longer used, I thought it might be a fun way to involve you all in Sam’s stem cell transplant recovery process.  So the idea is this: for the next 99 days (we’re getting started 1 day late — oops!)  do something that helps your mind, body, life, and/or spirit (as that’s the focus now more than a timeline of 100 days.  They used to think that 100 days was a milestone for graft vs. host disease — but each recovery follows its own path so putting a deadline of sorts can mess with expectations). 

But I still like the number and also the connection to building habits that we want over time. 

It doesn’t have to be elaborate — as our friend BJ Fogg talks about, tiny habits make great change.

Who’s in?  You can write it down here or just make the commitment to yourself, but make it something you can do for 99 days in a row.  I will check in on you every so often via this blog. Don’t feel bad if you miss a day — just do your best! 

Shout out to my friend and fellow mom of a young adult HSCT recipient (December 22, 2022) and fellow badass, Lisa 👊🏼 for this idea.
