Strength in Motion

Life and Facebook is filled with bad news (esp with Trump and Ford in power :( ) but I signed up for My Modern Met's email newsletter and their latest email put such a smile on my face! Creating is what's greatest about humans! Short-list of awesomeness: instagram account of "an easily entertained UPS driver" :P who has awesome puppy pics and gorgeous pics of New Orleans, cool CG renditions of rooms in painting masterpieces, Rent a Finn contest to go to Finland to learn about happiness :) , and a cool house on a cliff idea with a fucking super cool rooftop pool!! And then on the website I got lost staring at an artist's pottery videos and how he carves patterns and designs!

from the author, which I wholeheartedly agree: "When it comes to running, I staunchly believe an intelligent, appropriate, and progressive training plan is absolutely critical. Through helping people, including myself, rehab numerous, often avoidable, running injuries, I have learned that being a runner does not automatically make one strong and fit. One has to be strong and progress appropriately, and get adequate recovery to run injury-free."

This is what bugs me so much about so many women-centric things, like magazines, but even when I see Lululemon bags that have words like compassion on them yet knowing they sell their overpriced clothes by the same marketing methods as everyone else. They more likely encourage shame or envy rather than compassion or self-love. :/
