Sounds like you've been making good progress Beth!
Have you tried barefooting yet? I think it would really help you, its a powerful, easy and free thing we can all do for ourselves.
Can't wait to read that book when you get it published and how cool that you want to name a character after Uny!
Lol, I'm glad to hear it. I was too but as I got older I started wearing shoes more and more, but now I'm practicing going barefoot more and getting my 'tough' back lol!
