Wonderful to read Renee's FIMBY post about this!
Me, I am a mom, a birthworker, and an artist, children's storyteller (yes, indeed under the name "The Barefoot Storyteller"), a part time purveyor of childrens books that are also "Barefoot"...
Barefoot, is sort of a way of life and living for me... barefoot we are truly in touch with the aerth, the textures and tempeture...cool green grass, soft mud, sand at the beach, gentle treding across autumn leaves. Barefoot is carefree. Barefoot is my son's bare feet softly set upon mine under the quilt as we read to each other, and leaving footprints in paint across the kitchen floor when we didn't mean to.
