As I started my trek across the country today, I realized how blessed I am to have such amazing siblings. My husband is travelling back to MA himself, so my brother drove me to the train station and I met my sister at work so she can drop me at the airport. Today's journey really is like the very funny movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles...and maybe a little walk down memory lane.
My sister, Jenn, is an advisor at Northeastern University (NU). Being a double Husky I always get nostalgic and love coming back to campus. I forget at times how easy it is to get into Boston, and the really cool city that we called home for a big part of our lives.

Since I knew that I would be sitting a LOT on my flight to CA, I decided to walk from Back Bay to NU. It's not that far, but it did prove to be a good little workout as I had to dodge cars and snow banks while dragging my over filled suitcase behind me. I found that I had to frequently change arms to pull the suitcase, and it helped to turn my palm forward or back as I got tired. I noted after the 20 minute walk that my neck was getting tired too from the weight of my back pack and pocketbook. In this video, I talk more about ways to manage your luggage while travelling. Luckily, I was able to put my bags down in Jenn's office and do some mobility work to reset my joints. I know I'll be happy about that when I am mid flight.
As I embark to learn AiM, I am reminded of the importance of embracing movement when you can. Taking a walk thru my favorite campus, and the city I love, brought back so many memories and made that challenging walk so worth it.

I encourage you to walk and explore when you can. Catch the fresh air. Check out the sights. Enjoy the mobility and celebrate your memories as you go.
And because this weekend continues the Hockey East championship games: Let's Go Huskies!
