I love the old Nancy Sinatra song, "These Boots Were Made for Walkin'," but today I changed it up a little. I started singing "These feet are made for walkin'. And, that's just what they'll do. One of these days these feet are going walk all over town." Kinda cheesy, I know. But when you are on a 10-mile walk with no music, your mind gets creative.

Anyway, it got me thinking. Our feet are made for walking, just like our bodies are made for moving. We were created to be mobile. I'm not going to pretend I'm a diehard athlete. I'm not, but I do know that my body - and my mind - respond to physical activity. I sleep better. I eat less - actually it's more like I crave the "right" foods. I have more energy. I just feel better. So whether you are training for an event or just playing a game of kick ball with your kids, get moving. Spring is the perfect time to get started.

With inspiration and imagination,
