| Learning to skip has brought control into her life. Whenever she feels all sad, she switches into this wholly happy gait, sliding, hopping, and sliding again; when doing this, it seems as though her head separates from her body, making her feel dizzy and emptied out of bad thoughts. Does anyone else know this trick, she wonders? Probably not, although her Mother sometimes smiles and waves from the window. ~ Carol Shields, |

Skipping has magical powers!

| There’s another powerful benefit of skipping which is that it adds joy and positive energy to the world. Seeing adults consumed by the joy of skipping sends a compelling message about the power of the spirit over fear. When you learn to turn off your logical mind and get lost in the spirit of skipping, it’s like exercising a muscle that will help you deal with other fears. As external events become increasingly intense, that kind of inner strength will be more important than ever. ~ Kim Corbin |
| If I had time for only two exercises, I would choose yoga and skipping. ~ Astrid Alauda |
| There was a boyishness about Mr. Clemens sometimes that found different modes of expression.

As soon as a door opened, however, he stopped and assumed a supernaturally grave aspect. ~ Elizabeth Wallace, |
Out came the children running.
All the little boys and girls,
With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls,
Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after
The wonderful music with shouting and laughter.

Like Dorothy and gang did arm in arm down the yellow brick road… SKIPPING! As in expressing joy by leaping happily down the street without a care in the world. ~ Kim Corbin |
| Adults aren’t generally struck with the urge to skip because their worries and burdens weigh them down and they forget that they can take themselves lightly. ~ Jessi Lane Adams |
