In pursuit of ... no, not happiness ... excitement!

I can't think of anything more exciting than trying out new things - whether it be starting a new hobby, eating something I've never had before, reading a book on a topic I am not familiar with, or wearing unique clothes I found at a thrift store!

Newness helps me awaken each day with excitement ... euphoria ... a sense of purpose.

I can still remember the day I was introduced to indoor rock climbing. Because it became a passion, I went climbing almost daily.  And that extended to try outdoor climbing.

Or how about the day I attended a yoga class?  I felt so out of place since I was the only one more than twice the age of the other yogis. But that extended to eventually being a yoga instructor.

These are just a few of the experiences that have awakened my sleeping soul to have a vibrant and meaningful life.

Therefore, Maven Fitness Trekker begins a journey of recording new experiences... or maybe not so new .. but with a twist on the not-so-new. It will be a quest to find the thrill of attaining new skills, acquiring wisdom, delve into training, and using the body's senses to overcome the limitations of the mind and body.
