About this challenge
For this week's Challenge, we're asking you to share what keeps you moving. What are some of the things that you do to stay active? Not all of us are professional athletes, but that doesn’t stop us from wanting to be healthy and strong. In other words, we want to focus on what makes you feel good, energized, and helps you release all those endorphins to get on with your day.
For some, that might be a yoga class to finish your day; for others, it might look more like having a dance break in the kitchen while cooking dinner with your kids, or an early morning run. Whatever it is, tell us what keeps you active, and how you find creative work-arounds for any obstacles—an old football injury, or a schedule so packed you have no time to dedicate to fitness—that might stand in your way. Now let's take a deep breath, inhale... exhale... and share your story!

Sometimes the simplest challenges are the deepest and most revealing. For this challenge we asked you to “unravel the mysteries, joys, and challenges of love through the power of personal storytelling” — we all love, we all feel we know what it means to love. Yet this challenge offered a reminder of the infinite shapes of human connection, and what power love has over us, even in the face of struggle and pain.
