Why Barefoot?

I love to go barefoot
And as if that were not reason enough, here are more:

10 Reasons to go Barefoot

1. I feel connected to Mother Earth

2. I love to feel the sand, the grass, the mud, the pavement, the ground, the floor, the forest beneath my feet, it makes me feel alive.

3. It helps me remain grounded and present

4. It saves me money, I buy less shoes...and the shoes I buy last longer

5. It reminds me of simplicity, of not needing to uneccessarily complicate my life.

6. I will never be that old lady who lies on her death bed and wishes she had spent more time barefoot.

7. I get to connect with other barefoot people, like hippies and homeless people; they are interesting.

8. I have healthy feet, there is some research by some people that says going barefoot is good for your feet; I'm not sure about the validity of such stuff, but I do know that I have healthy feet.

9. People sometimes look at my feet and seem to find them fascinating, not only am I adding to people's sense of wonder and amazement but it stops them from noticing my bed-hair and lame sense of style.

10. My feet are tough, so if I'm ever caught without shoes, having to run on sharp tacks or what-not (this does happen you know) I can so handle it...tough I tell you.

  2. I'm fascinated. Do you go barefoot on a regular basis or is the freedom reserved for your property, the park and the the beach? I want to know if you go barefoot in the supermarket?

    I live in NYC and I have seen people walk around these not so clean streets barefoot. I've always wanted to ask them why they do it and tell them how brave they are...

    Can't wait to read more.

  3. Thanks for your comment Metch, I've moved my blog to word-press if you want to read more in the future :)

    And yes, I do go to the Supermarket in bare-feet, its true they are not clean, nor the streets, but hey, neither are my feet I guess, so I don't make a habit of licking the bottom of my soles, just like I'm sure people don't lick their shoes ;)
