Nature Stuff
THE BAREFOOT BIRDER I've been a birder for many years. My life list is 500+. I've done most of my birding in Florida, but have also birded Texas, Washington state, Costa Rica, and other places too numerous to mention. I've got a list of birding links you may want to check out and I've got a large selection of field guides and other books about birding, wildflowers, and nature in general.
Fiddle Stuff
THE BAREFOOT FIDDLER My main interest in music is the old time fiddling of the southern Appalachian mountains. I've selected a few of my favorite books and recordings and included some fiddle stories and links.
Spirituality
TOLTEC WISDOM
I was introduced to ancient Toltec wisdom through a book called The Four Agreements, by Don Miguel Ruiz. It's a wonderful book that I've found extremely helpful in my spiritual unfoldment. Presented in this book are four simple things that you agree to do. Implementing these agreements in your life can result in dramatic changes in your life.
