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.

19 great things in my life...

Suppose you were to read an entire book each week for the next seventy years. You would read 3,640 books. That sounds like a lot but in the Library of Congress are more than 27,000,000 books. Futurist Alvin Toffler said "that books are spewing from the world's presses at the rate of one thousand titles per day." That means that in seventy years there will be an additional 25,000,000 volumes. Even if we read continually, we could not read more than the smallest fraction of the books in print. Therefore, we should not waste time reading anything that is not uplifting and instructive.
-Elder Joe J. Christensen

Jesse found this quote a few years ago and it freaked me out! I love reading but it really made me realize that I need to be more careful in the things I am reading. So this list is kind of important to me because of the 3,640 books I will read in my life these are ones that are worth reading more than twice.

Books I read over and over and over....
