Focus on Your Own Breath: Of Art & Exercise

If there’s a single topic that I haven’t really been touching as frequently as I should in the past 7+ years of blogging, that’s my love for movement.  I was thinking about this as I was working out this evening.  Well, to boot, it’s not normal for me to workout and still have time to
