Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It’s like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can’t stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.

So hey, a couple of friends and I started up a new healthy living blog!  I’ll still be on tumblr, but I’ll be writing blog posts and sharing race recaps over there, too. Right now we’ve got a giveaway going on for our kick-off and we’ll have a lot of good stuff over there.

Click on the pic if you’d like to visit.  :) I’d be thrilled if you checked it out!  (Say hi if you do!) xo

No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
