I love a challenge!

Today I've started a writing and yoga challenge called 215800 designed by Bindu Wiles. For the next three weeks, I will do a yoga practice or class for five days a week and I will write 800 words per day.

I decided to do this writing challenge because I know it will keep me writing every day. I love having a goal and being accountable. It will also connect me to other writers, members of my own tribe doing their thing. It's inspiring to be part of a community, to know that there are hundreds of other people sitting at their desks or their computers, in coffee shops and parks, getting their words down on the page.

I like this particular challenge because it combines writing and yoga. My neck and shoulders have been feeling stiff and tight lately (partly because as I tell my nieces and nephews, I am old and tired) but hey, I'm not so old or so tired that I can't invite some delicious yoga into my life. This morning I did a Yogaworks class I found on the exercise demand cable channel. How easy was that? And I felt great after. So here's hoping for a little less stiff, a little less tight, a little more loose and bendy. YAY for loose and bendy.

Thanks, Bindu, for such a great idea. I'm happy to be joining you.
