Behind every pair of shoes...

Behind every pair of shoes there is a story.  When I was a little girl, my father and I used to play a game whenever we would go shopping with my mother.  We would run off to the shoe department at the closest department store and let the games begin...

Dad would pick out a pair of shoes and ask me who they reminded me of.  If I guessed the friend or relative he was thinking of, I would get a point.  Then it would be his turn to guess who I was thinking of.  We would try to choose the most outrageous shoes we could find and every selection seemed to trigger an old family story and we would get lost in reminiscing.  We had a great time and never seemed to tire of playing it.

This little game gave me the idea for the book, "Living Shoes."  Since those early years of childhood I have looked at shoes differently.  There is a story behind every one of them.  In my blog I will share a picture of some shoes and the story behind them.  You will be inspired and touched by the stories I will share with you.  This blog will lead to the eventual release of my book, "Living Shoes."

I hope you will enjoy reading the stories of people I have found interesting throughout my journey.
