My Love/Hate Relationship With Exercise
Posted by Lisa Stevens on
Journey….journeys….I feel like life should be one journey, but it is not. I feel like it is a series of them, sometimes all jumbled up together and sometimes several simultaneously happening. I am going to write about one of the journeys today. It is one people either embrace or they ignore totally…it is amazing to watch and see where people are on this journey and if any other journeys impact this one. I am talking about exercise. While some may not consider it a journey, I believe it is. I know for myself, anyways. I have had a love/hate relationship with...
