"One morning in 2011, Libby DeLana stepped outside her New England home for a walk and took a photo of a local barn. She did the same thing the next day, and the next. It became a daily habit that has culminated in her walking over 25,000 miles the equivalent of the earth s circumference. In Do Walk, Libby shares the transformative nature of this simple yet powerful practice. With each day presenting a new opportunity to reset and reconnect with the natural world, our inner thoughts and physical selves, this morning walk becomes a sacred time and space where new ideas, wonder and wisdom interact elements that remind us of who we are, beyond titles and labels. With beautiful photography and chapters on curiosity, perseverance, creativity and more, Do Walk is an inspiring and reflective guide: an invitation to simply step outside and see where the path takes us"--Publisher's description.
