Taking a tour on a cold dreary day in Connecticut, the tour guide would send us to our next destination by saying and we'll do it "with vigor!" A cute old man, you could not help but smile and do as we were instructed, even though we continued to trudge along, we had energy with each step. In my first internship, my advisor said to me "work like there's a fire" - in the moment, I found no reason to do anything of the sort, but I loved the expression. I move with little urgency, but I do have a love for the feeling you get with these expressions. Whether an increase in anxiety or the rush to really get things done, it will depend on the day.
I've created this blog as putting down a little bit of me.
I've had the hardest time putting a name to it or even putting a "what's this thing all about" because I have varied interest that I'd like to share.
For one, I'm interested in providing assistance and education about sports medicine injuries and just helping people understand and reduce pain in general in the body. Two, I enjoy fitness, movement and getting others energized to move. Three, I like crafty and creative things. Neither of which lead me to either doing the projects or getting any better at being an "artist," but I will start here by posting them. Three, I like bikes, the various types of them, how people use them, the increase of biking for commuting, biking long distances, and I sort of like the idea of the community of people who bike (not so much the hard-core of any biking group, but the identity that we all have because we have a common connection). Four, creative food creations. I'm not a normal eater, I do what I want, when I want. I love flavor and I love trying new things out -or I'm so desperate for not having the same thing twice, I'll try any new combination of anything once. That said, I like trying healthy things, but I enjoy sweet things too. Lastly, I like coming up with creative solutions to everyday problems and I ideally want to find a second use for everything I own, or someone else own...try to reuse first then consider throwing it out. From umbrellas to old clothes.
As a person who guides others on their health behaviors, I want others to have fun with life while doing things that are good for them, and I love to solve people problems and find solutions to them. I'd like to see this as being a problems solving forum from exercise to home storage and crafting. While I may not "work like there is a fire," my energies towards all of my topics of interest are pursued with equal vigor.
So, part one: What should you do to keep/contain all of your re-usable grocery bags? I live in a city and usually walk to the grocery store. This means the bags come into the house and once unloaded they need to be stored somewhere. I came up with one solution.
