I was asked today what the high top tennies have to do with anything...
Well...
I originally wanted the book to be titled:
The Journey of a Thousand Miles...
... taken from the quote "The journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step." And usually that quote is always attached to a pair of high top tennis shoes. Converse, to be exact. But my daughter hated that title. Not just hated... she
HATED IT!
Still, I had that stuck in my head. And there's another reason that those tennis shoes are so important to me, too. But that part will just have to remain a mystery. Until you read the book.
So, the title got changed. But I still snuck in the ol' tennis shoes. Even if Liz hated those, too.
Tomorrow I'll post an excerpt from the book. Because I want to. No other reason.
No tennis shoes mentioned though. I'll tell you about a purse instead. Or a bbq. Or... a hamburger. Haven't decided yet.
Maybe I strapped on my tennies, grabbed my purse and bbq'd a hamburger.
Ya' never know.
