Why Barefoot??

WHY BAREFOOT????
Because being barefoot to me is being raw. Feeling every sharp rock, lush clover, spiky thistle, cushioned blade of grass, slimy covered stones, fragrant feathered flowers, cereal of sand, bead of water, element of litter, and the mash of mud.

Being Barefoot is the promise of prancing in the moonlight, leaping in the waves, running through a meadow, dancing on the porch, and doing all this while enduring a long journey to the end.

Its my birthday

So for my birthday today I want you to eat one raw vegetable of your choice, and either smile at someone you don't know or compliment someone you do know.  Then leave a comment on which one you did.
Thanks
xoxo

    In honour of your birthday I am making a salad for lunch, and I smiled at several people I don't know while on my walk this morning. Thanks for the challenge. I hope your birthday is every bit as special as you are...

    Happy Birthday Barb! Tonight I'm adding TWICE the veggies in our home made chicken soup, and I tried to be as polite as possible when talking to a telemarketer on the phone today. Does that count? ;)

      Tanis this totally counts because you didn't even get to "see" the reaction!

    Happy Birthday to one of my very favorite people! I ate a cucumber, yum, and complimented a girl I know on her hair. Is it okay that I was really thinking to myself "hmm. Maybe I should cut MY hair like that"? They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery though! I hope you have a perfectly wonderful day, and know just how much you are loved and admired.

    Happy Birthday, Friend!
    I ate a salad for lunch (does dressing take away the rawness?).
    Love ya!

      Happy Birthday!! Sorry I am a little late to the party. :) I did have a friend over for lunch that day, and made a really yummy green salad. And gave my a friend a much deserved compliment. And I also went walking, so I guess I covered it all. May this year bring you many wonderful blessings. And thank you for all your inspiring posts. God bless...

    In honor of your birthday, I went grocery shopping today, so I bought and ate some fresh snap peas, and didn't talk myself out of my hard workout. Then I complimented a mom I walk with. Glad to hear you took some time out for yourself!
