Walking across continents


Over on my other blog Laura Baillie Designs I got so many supportive and encouraging replies to the post
:: getting personal :: Since then I have teamed up with Laura Bray from Katydiddys for moral support and Whitney - Anne of Whatwhitneydidnext to record our walking thought, finds and progress.

I am so greatful to Laura for all the encouragment she has been giving me when I have gone off track. And working in this way with Whitney Anne is forcing me to think about more than just steps, minutes and miles on my daily walks. I am feeling the benifit of them already, the fresh air and bonding with the dogs walking them further.

The images above is from a little flower I saw yesterday on the banking at the top of field I walk around. I don't know what it is called, but I was so drawn to it because there was a patch of them nestled amongst the long grass. A little pocket of colour.

I have been thinking about the title for these weekly posts I'll be doing with Whitney Anne and possibly Laura and love the idea that we are all working on changing our lifestyles in realistic ways and walking, taking steps towards change. So join us as we "Walk across continents", and if you fancy join in too! We are going to check in each Sunday if we can, and share something from one of our walks from the week. Drop by and let us know if you saw something beautiful, thought of something profound or overheard something funny.

:: a new home ::

No, I haven't forgotton all the promises I have made.
In fact they have been at the for front of my mind lately. So much so that I have been expanding my search for space and built a little website for this 'project'.

Head over for a look at what I have created so far :: the website ::

The walking project :: body :: is going well. The feeling of the cool air against my skin is so refreshing. For so long I have been sat looking out at the weather, so to now be out in it is a delight. I have spent a lot of time just being over the last few years, that this new found freedom is like a burst of energy. Walking is good for the soul, I have decided!

I am following a plan I found here and am on week 1. I hope that I can stick to this and will do everything I can to stick with it. It is only 6 weeks, only walking, and can only be good for me.

Have you made time for yourself this week?
What did you do?
