Happy Birthday to my Lady Barefoot Baroness (LBB) blog ~
Hello, Hello.
I’ve something rather cool to share. albeit it is rather self-serving.
But then it is my blog and I do make the rules.
But then it is my blog and I do make the rules.
LBB is five years old this week. As a rather significant side-note to me this is my 499th post.
Although for transparency sake let me add that it has only been public for 3 of those 5 years.
I wrote for two years without ever publishing anything because I was first not certain that what I was writing was of any caliber that warranted it to be readable.
Secondly, I was even less certain that my random thoughts about navigating life in this universe was anything anyone would find interesting enough to want to take the time & effort to read about my thoughts on life.
This blog has brought me far more gifts & benefits to my life than I had ever anticipated. Many of us here in the WP community have been astonished by the relationships created because of sharing our lives in some way through our respective blogs.
I have a strong feeling today looking back at what I have shared here on LBB (& what I still have archived away in private posts) is how I have managed to stay the course. Without LBB I would have possibly not processed life in quite the same positive way.
In spending the last couple of days reading past dumping cathartic expression of deep feelings and random thoughts I have become aware of how much soul searching and being a student of life I have been working hard at processing.
It’s what we humans do, we are constantly processing life.
These past five years I have seen and navigated through many life changes, without this outlet here I am real clear that knowing I would share my thoughts with my readers helped me keep moving forward and not looking back.
There is a lot to be said about ” letting old sleeping dogs lie”.

Today, it’s five years later and I am most humble and grateful. As dramatic as it may sound I will still say this because it is my truth; I am setting myself free.
And.. so like me, I will end this post with a song video that the lyrics have become my newest mantra.
Thank you ever so much for as WP says, “flying along with me”.
