Home Is a Handstand: Arm Workout
Dear Writers:
Doing some handstands!
This journey home to a handstand thing is becoming a thing. After thirty years of not working out much, it feels pretty great to be upside down again, and I can’t believe how much love people are sending my way. Thank you! I put a clip on Facebook and people asked me to keep posting, so there’s a few more clips of my workouts on YouTube. Maybe someone should take all our video phones away . . . nah.
See more clips of Home Is a Handstand on my groovy new YouTube channel.
Also I wrote an essay about my former gymnastics coach, which Dogpatch Writers Collective just previewed.

I do a handstand every morning…good for the soul (and the bod, of course!).
That is awesome, Britt! You are right – handstands are good for both soul and body, in either order! XO
Just watched all your YouTube videos. Great job!
I love you for that! That totally makes my day. Thank you, Yvonne! XO
So much athleticism lives in your body. I love it!
Thanks, Jil! Along with any lingering athleticism, I’m finding every creak and ache, but it’s slowly coming back. Can’t tell you how much your encouragement means. xo
I’d be doing worse than creaking and aching if I was doing what you’re doing. I haven’t gone past the planks and squats, yet. Stay tuned.
Ohh, planks and squats are excellent! You worked out pretty hard when you were pregnant as I recall, so I think you will hit your goals pretty fast. Good job, Jil!
You are awesome, Laurel! I’m very impressed.
Aww, thanks, Jennifer! How are you? Long time, no see!
Dang! You are impressive. The only way I would try this is if my wife had the paramedics on speed dial.
Thank you, Writer Fellow! Yes, having someone to dial the phone can be critical, lol.
Laurel,
The perfect physical metaphor of your writing!

Oh, now you are too sweet, my friend. I heart you.
