I've been following Claude Taylor for a while now, too. There are 3 there that I check daily: Claude, Louise, and the Jester. Jester can be pretty cryptic, but I sometimes need the angle he provides. Claude and Louise are pretty straightforward, though, and they do help me to sustain hope in the darkness. So yeah, I'm with you.

ETA: I find that it is hope that keeps me going forward, keeps me fighting. If there's no hope, that's when I sit back and wait. Having hope means feeling there are still things worth fighting for, and that is a motivator for me.
