Red Shoes have Lift Off! This is my story. The red shoes sat untouched in my closet for 2 months. They looked like cheerful outcasts in a sea of black. I was committed to ignoring them. Then one day (don’t know what came over me) I put them on and walked out the door.Read More
I am not a well heeled person, least of all a high heeled person. In fact the prospect of wearing high heels fills me with a little dread, a feeling of no way, I can’t pull this off, and maybe, with a slight nod to my former days as a placard wielding feminist, (okRead More
………do so as the Romans do (or in this case as Croatian women do)…at least make best effort! Split, Croatia – May 19, 2013 – I love the way European women look!

The POWER of the Like Minded “I like your shoes.” My husband and I had been winding our way through the streets of Ubud, Bali looking for lunch. A wild goose chase searching for a recommended vegetarian warung proved unsuccessful. Now, we were simply trying to decide where to plant our hungry selves. The AustralianRead More

I thought I would introduce the red shoes to her by strutting down the hallway and entering the room where she was watching TV. “What do you think?” I proudly askedRead More
I have to say when I first saw the ‘red shoes’ I felt a twinge of disappointment, they were not what I was expecting… I had assumed, although I’m not sure why, they would be more like a classic high heeled, red leather pump… the kind I wore in my younger days with my ‘powerRead More
The arrival of the red shoes in my life triggered an unexpected journey of exploration and self discovery.“THIS….is from a shoe???!!” I would exclaim every time insight and understanding dawned.
