Kimberly King Parsons

I think of all the writers I've talked with over the years who exercise as a way of obviously keeping their bodies in shape and strong, but also as a way of quieting their minds and relieving stress.

Runners, hikers, yogis, weightlifters, Reese Kwan, R.O. Kwan, and Kimberly King Parsons are weightlifters.

Laura Vandenberg famously boxes.

And there are lots of writers that I've spoken with through the years who are meditators, myself included.
