| A few years ago leading to this one.. |

A few years ago a friend of mine named Jen, lost a lot of weight and totally changed her attitude around. We got to know her by patronizing her place of business, which we did often, and one of the end results of her transformation was that she left that job for a better one that she did not hate.
"Jen.. You look thinner, what have you been doing?"
"I became a samurai."
"Buh?"
"I got really sick and lost a bunch of weight, and then I read the Hagekura. Seriously dude, it will change your life."
And so it did for her. In less than a year she had lost about half her body weight, gained a bunch of muscle, got a new job, and wandered to parts unknown. I never have seen the little ronin since.
Though I might not be becomming a samurai, my one of my goals for the new year is to be a lot more like Jen in that regard.
