Episode 33 - Liz Berman Sklaw

  

When Liz Berman Sklaw ran the New York Marathon this past November she unequivocally felt like she was viewing a kaleidoscope of paintings in every borough she passed through.  “It may have been the diversity of the street crowds, or the change in architecture every few miles,” Liz said. She felt like she was in an art trance. The fact that she was totally focused on the beauty of the city, Liz found the energy needed to finish the race.

 

Liz started running a number of years ago because it enabled her to experience different worlds. Being on foot you get to see life from different perspectives and she felt it helped her become a better wife and mother by  broadening  her horizons. She doesn’t look at the world through one lens anymore. She is able to see and understand different perspectives.

 

Liz runs at home and when she travels. She gets more creative when she runs. Painters create on canvas; she creates when her feet hit the ground running. She also needs that time to help her come up with new ideas for her promotion business and fundraising for various charities. She gets more daring, more spiritual and definitely more fearless. It’s wonderful to become more liberated when you have to be so many things to so many people day.
