Actually, Jason, your story is very inpirational for a lot of people and what I was hinting at before is that it would make a good book in itself. These days, more and more average people living mainstream lives are looking for viable alternatives and escape routes. We're questioning the traditional messages and mentalities that are causing us to drop like flies, victims of burnout and unfulfilled ambitions. And a lot of us want o-u-t. The biggest question, however, is always, 'How? I know what I want, but I don't know how to go about getting there'.
You've already inspired and spawned a schoal of barefoot blogging guppies. You just have to think bigger. I mean, you don't have to, but it's definitely an option for you. Or, well, maybe after a couple years once you've really established yourself. Which I'm confident you'll do. No doubts inmy mind.
Of course, barefooting is a great springboard for breaking out of the hamster wheels, but you've gone further than just that. You've kind of gone from the micro to the macro levels.
PS - nod to Nick: Dittoes on the kudos for your story, man! I didn't know any of that stuff. You gotta be sure and run past whatever clinic did that hatchet job on your back, at least three times a week, if not once a day! Maybe get your story into the local newspaper, too. (now look who's evangelising here, lol).
