Last week, I mentioned this week\u2019s topic: Shoes.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Evergreen Journal #15<\/span><\/em>\u00a0(Read it\u00a0<\/span>here.<\/span><\/a>)\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I promised to write about SHOES. As it turned out, this topic is complex.<\/span><\/h3>\n

I wrestled with many different ways to go with my article.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

I admit that I am a shoe connoisseur. I am particular about the shoes I like. Next week, I will tell you how I set a goal that was so high it seemed impossible to attain.\u00a0 Along with that GOAL, I vowed to give myself a REWARD when I hit the goal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you think I set as my REWARD?\u00a0 <\/span><\/h3>\n

I’ll let you know all about that in my next post on The Evergreen Journal #17. Next time!<\/p>\n

I have to let you know I had a dozen ideas of what I wanted to say in this article. So I started writing it several times. Somehow, each time I wrote for a while on this topic, I had that gut feeling that what I wrote was just not\u00a0 what I really wanted to say. I really do have a LOT to say about SHOES.<\/span><\/p>\n

After some mental gymnastics and soul searching, I think I have put my finger on what it is about SHOES that captures my attention and what I want to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This quote by designer Roger Vivier<\/span> gave me insight into my love of shoes. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

And, not just any shoes. <\/span><\/h3>\n

I\u2019m very picky when it comes to what shoes I select.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve been writing about the importance of goal-setting and the importance of reading about how to do it. I highly recommend Born to Win by Zig Ziglar.\u00a0\u00a0Buy it here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>What do you think about when we mention shoes?<\/span><\/h3>\n

To wear dreams on one\u2019s feet is to begin to give a reality to one\u2019s dreams.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n
