When joy is the forerunner, intuition or inner truth will lead the way like a shadow casted before you.
Wednesday's audiobook walk with The Walkbrary was a call to reflect before taking the next step. Through the lens of the humanities, I experienced the library as a walkable space while listening to Slow AF Run Club by via .
Guided by the shadow that appeared before me, I began to see the guiding presence of joy. As I began to tune in to the narrative story selected to accompany me during The Walkbrary, I was reminded that my journey has been far from traditional, yet joy has always led the way.
Slowing down the pace long enough to pause the audiobook app, take notes, and sit with the wisdom of the was an affirmation of sorts. I literally walked slow AF during yesterday's Walk at The Library Meetup.
Listening to Martinus Evans talk about bullying, inner dialogue, and the fortitude to run through external obstacles reminded me of my tenure at 's Southeast Branch. People have surely casted shadows of doubt, however, without a shadow of doubt, I have routinely stumbled upon destiny moments along the way. The combination of walking and listening amid an introvert-friendly space has continued to be quite effective. As a 30 minute walk yields approximately 3,000 to 4,000 steps for most adults, I surprisingly reached 3,074 steps during the Audiobook Appreciation Month walk-off.
To close out Audiobook Appreciation Month, I skipped the 15 minute audiobook tasting and opted for a seat at The Libraries with Heart Bar, affectionately known as The Blood Pressure Monitor Station. When Evans mentioned, “This is not a weight loss journey,” it reinforced the reasons why I wanted to start a walking book club. Within the realm of 's School of Charm, the library is a place for all things information.

If art transcends culture, stories connect us to the humanities.
Wednesday's audiobook walk with The Walkbrary deepened my appreciation of today's library. Through the lens of the humanities, I experienced the library as a walkable space while listening to All About Love by bell hooks via .
Guided by an eagle circling above, I began to see the trees talking. Although I never lost track of the narrative story selected to accompany me during The Walkbrary, something about the eagle, the trees, and the beauty of the clouds truly moved me.
Slowing down the pace long enough to pause the audiobook app, take notes, and sit with the wisdom of bell hooks was truly a groundbreaking experience. I literally stopped to gather ye rosebuds by capturing a few snapshots to serve as mementos of the moment. 's narration performance was simply marvelous.
The greenspace that runs through 's Southeast Branch, left me in awe. I've never felt so immersed in a story. The combination of walking and listening amid an introvert-friendly space has proven to be quite effective. As a 30 minute walk yields approximately 3,000 to 4,000 steps for most adults, I proudly reached 4,004 steps during the third Walk at The Library Meetup and walked away with a few unifying messages.
Becoming fully present during the walking book club awakened my curiosity for library outreach and compelled me to discover more ways to convey:
● How Public Libraries Transform Into Health Literacy Locales.
● Why Every Step Tells A Story.
● Adding A 30 Minute Walk To Your Day Is An Excellent Milestone.
● Libraries with “Heart” Programs Help Move Your Blood Pressure Numbers To A Healthier Range.
● Taking A Closer Look At The Greenspace That Runs Through Public Libraries.
● Highlighting Health Literacy Through National Observances Creates an Engaging Experience.
● Your Local Library Keeps You Connected To Universal Themes.
Until next time, remember, audiobooks count as reading and listening gives way to reflection.
One Love,
