The magical world of Glimmers: An interview with Deb Dana (AUDIO)
As we walk through life, we can focus on all the things that could go wrong in our busy day ahead. Or, we can spot Glimmers.

It’s official: Walking funny (Ministry-of-Silly-Walks-style), is healthy exercise
Walking in a way that is not only funny but also completely inefficient can be a healthy form of exercise. It is the conclusion of a group of scientists who have investigated what happens when we walk like this. Like John Cleese in Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks, to be precise. It turns out that while we don’t have to throw our legs in exactly the same way as John Cleese could, walking in such an enthusiastic way can be a good thing.
