Shoes can affect your personality and your mood. Have you ever noticed how putting on a pair of sneakers makes you feel shlumpy? But putting on a pair of stilettos makes you feel sexy? When I received that postcard from a friend, I was going through a difficult time in my life ~ I wasn’t sure where I was or what I was doing with myself. I honestly felt like I was emotionally and spiritually tapped out and I didn’t know how to pull myself together and then that postcard arrived in the mail…
It was just what I needed to get myself in gear. I put on my cutest shoes and reminded myself of all that I had accomplished: I had served in the Army when no one thought I could do it and I had obtained two Master’s degrees while raising four kids and undergoing treatment for cancer. I wasn’t giving myself credit, I was focusing on a momentary blip in my life instead of seeing my life as a whole. And that postcard helped me to refocus.
What quote gets you moving when you feel stuck?
