Movement

The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – movement. Movement offers us joy, identity, belonging & hope. It puts us in beautiful places, whether that’s outdoors in nature or in an environment that challenges us. “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the live you have imagined” – Henry Thoreau. Movement is the essence of life.
