It never failed. On a daily basis, Abby Farson Pratt's face showed up on my newsfeed. Every day, like clockwork, she posted a link to a new blog post on her blog, Little Stories.
I thank Abby for those daily posts. Not because I read every single one (or even one every week). But more so because I saw someone who was blogging regularly and realized that I could probably do the same.
You see, I want to be like Abby. I want to have a consistently-updated blog that people find intriguing and want to read. This blog started out strong but as of late, has been sorely neglected. I fell into the trap of thinking that each post needed to be about running (because it started as a running blog, of course). But writing only about running pigeonholes me. And no one likes to be put into a corner.
Small aside: why would your nickname ever be Baby? As a term of endearment, sure. But other than that...
Getting back on track here...the name of the blog is A Barefoot Journey. Sure, I'll write about running when I get the urge. That is, after all, a huge passion of mine. But I'm also going to be writing about my journey through life (cliche, I know). But there is so much out there to be explored and questioned and written about; how could I ever leave it by the wayside?
So, armed with a trusted buddy and some jump-starting inspiration, I'm ready to begin. Let's get it on!
