A challenge to start things off

Patrick + Carling Yoga are a couple of awesome people both for their yoga and their ideas on creativity and being you.  Carling started a writing challenge yesterday and I decided to take part in it.

Day one: Introduce yourself in 50-100 words.

So, meet me! My name is Kim, okay that's a lie my name is Kimberly but I have always preferred Kim.  Kimberly seemed to be too flowery, feminine, delicate, all of the things I didn't want to be.  Being 5 feet 2 inches tall and under or around 100 pounds for most of my life I have felt the need to fight against the idea that I am somehow lesser or weaker than others.  And I have succeeded in that goal I like to think.  I row both in an eight man sweeping boat and a single person sculling boat each once a week, I do Vinyasa flow yoga 2-3 days a week, and a light home yoga practice everyday, I used to walk my three amazing pit bulls everyday... well, most days.  But we've fallen out of the habit, we're working to get back on track but it's been very hot lately.  But I also embrace a slightly softer side in my love for art, musicals, and comfy days without clothes.  Anyway, I read obsessively and can never be without a book, there's always one in my purse, my car, my backpack, my hand, near me.  That's me, well at least a small facet of the complex, contradictory, amazing, strange, quirky person that I call me!
