I have been particularly drawn to the word, idea and implications of the word movement lately. As part of my journey to explore movement I decided to look up the definitions of the word. My findings are both diverse and fascinating and I can’t help but let you in on my discovery.
(I’ve highlighted the definitions that I am most fond of.)

Seventeen definitions!!! The word movement itself has high capabilities of infiltrating different aspects of our world including speech, the arts, biological functions of our bodies, sociology, economy, and even the military.
My hope in the next few posts is to expound on movement as it relates to our everyday lives and the responsibility we have in stewarding the gift of movement.

Hi Kyla, thanks so much for keeping up on blogging. I will have to think of the word movement:) Love, Mama VW
This is so good and reflects what a few have spoken over me. First my last name, ‘Wagoner’ means one who deals with carts or wagons, in essence one made for movement. I’ve had someone else tell me that’s what I’m about and once I figured out it was inerrant in my surname it made sense. Haha. Either way, I love movement too and look forward to read what you share. 😀 God Bless!
