Hillary Clinton has been active on social media last week, joining Instagram and Spotify respectively. Hours before her campaign kick-off rally Saturday on New York City's Roosevelt Island, the former first lady and possibly future first lady president released an official Spotify playlist. Many of the tracks were obviously picked for the messages in their titles: Stronger by Kelly Clarkson, Brave by Sarah Bareilles, The Fighter by Gym Class Heroes, Believer by American Authors and Roar by Katy Perry.

It's a cheap, rickety bike from China but it's my vehicle of choice for running errands, and honestly, it gets the job done. My youngest is still working on his steering. My eldest, on the other hand, is all about speed. She thinks she's in the Tour de France, so I'm constantly shouting, "Slow down!" Of course there are moments of near disaster. But you know what? Despite the mayhem, there's something undeniably satisfying about arriving at our destination, slightly out of breath, on our bikes. There are also moments of pure, unadulterated joy – like when we are pedaling along the street, the sun on our faces, the wind...

Why Walking is Basically Magic

I like walking. It's really convenient and no fancy equipment is required. You can do it anywhere, anytime. It's also good for my heart and can somehow untangle the chaotic mess that is my brain. It's meditative, allowing my thoughts to flow freely and my anxieties to melt away. Whether it's a short stroll through your neighborhood or a long vigorous hike in the countryside, this TED-Ed video explains why walking is lauded as a cure for everything from boredom to slightly-too-tight jeans.
