Taking Steps
This will be a written journey of taking steps. It is simply about walking. I broke my back and could not walk. I could not even paint, and for a full time artist that was beyond discouraging. So recently I decided to write about it and to record it for others to read. I can walk now, on my own, I have been able to do so for the last two weeks.
For the last several months I have been working on walking. I have managed to get over 5000 steps a day now and just want my stories to be about the journey, and for you all to join me. I plan on talking about positivity issues, and being supportive of other people planning on joining me. If you are walking, and keeping track, join me. Through my words my struggle I hope it helps you. We all need encouragement, even if we are walking for fun, for our health, for a challenge or because we want to find like minded friends. We can help each other walk.I don’t do selfies, I am not thin, I am no longer super fat either. I want you all to know that right now, and the back breaks and subsequent sitting on my butt made me fatter. But now that is changing. When I am ready I will take video walks and you can come with me, that will eventually be on youtube. I live in the woods.
This is a safe space for those who need a safe space to be honest about how many steps they take a day. It was weeks when I could do no more than 60 steps. I get it if you are struggling.

Maybe one day we can all get together and take steps.
Join me! Follow me. Have a good time while you walk.
Did I say I like a good joke too? Sometimes they are lame, but can be walked out for a quiet giggle.
I tried speed walking once. Not sure if I was faster, but I definitely looked more ridiculous.
