The Birth

Biddy's Boots #annieadventures

One afternoon, much to my surprise, a gorgeous pair of K-Way boots caught my attention in the window of a local adventure store. Despite my unspoken resistance, “Let me try them on,” I thought. And so was the start of a beautiful friendship of adventure and joy with Biddy’s boots! Nicknamed “Annie” to remind me, as the name suggests, to always walk with and in grace wherever I might find myself.  

I sometimes catch myself narrating stories in my head, editing them and re-editing them. I like to call the process of writing “dancing with words”; each story has its own rythme and sequence, taking a little while to come together. This interest, together with the inspiration that my boots have brought me, has birthed my digital journal. Mostly, it’s little musings of my heart and sweet stories I want to remember and look back on. I’ve started a blog a couple of times before. (Once I had one called Blood, Sweat and Wine which was during my first few years as a teacher - the curriculum had changed a million times, exercise was my religion and I enjoyed some good, cheap wine. Oh my. How different my world is now.) Though, I could never quite find the right thing to share or way to say it. Or so I thought. Maybe that was just fear clothed in some sort of apparent sense? 

So here I am: to share the odd story, to share my thoughts and some melodies of my heart.
