Why "Living Barefoot"?

The idea of "Living Barefoot" holds special meaning for me. My philosophy has long been that your feet connect your soul to the earth. Why else do people like to feel the sand between their toes and walk barefoot through the grass? Is there a greater joy than kissing a newborn baby's toes after his bath? It simply disrupts one's balance to keep the shoes on for too long.

I have recently embarked on a career as a Stallholder for Barefoot Books, a publisher of children's literature. The home based business allows me to keep my focus on the boys while I develop a career and make a meaningful contribution through fund raisers and community events. The Barefoot Books philosophy of providing quality literature to our children, promoting a sense of global community and protecting the environment, is harmoniously in line with everything I believe in.

George and I often ponder the legacy that we are leaving for our boys. Can Earth continue to sustain them and their children? What can we do to protect their future? We try to make small changes where we are able and find hope in all the small bits of goodness that are going on in the world. Part of our responsibility is to leave only delicate footprints...so please remove your shoes when you can and remember our beginnings.
