My \u201cAdventure\u201d with the Red Shoes<\/b><\/p>\n

By Carole Cameron<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>It was my dear friend Debbie who introduced me to The Red Shoes.\u00a0 To the shoes themselves, the philosophy behind them, and of course, to the inspirational instigator of it all, Cheryl.<\/p>\n

When Debbie shared the story with me, I immediately wanted to get in on the \u201csisterhood\u201d, and have a go with the shoes myself!\u00a0 The shoes arrived at my home in Milton, Ontario at the end of May.\u00a0 Strangely enough, they sat on the end-table in the family room, unworn, for 3 weeks.\u00a0 As much as I believed in their \u201clife-changing qualities\u201d, I was waiting for the \u201cperfect opportunity\u201d to have my experience. I made lots of excuses…they are really not my style, I\u2019m really not a shoe person, they are so high that I measure over 6 feet tall when wearing them…<\/p>\n

I went to New York City in early June with a girlfriend, but again, the \u201cperfect\u201d opportunity didn\u2019t present itself.\u00a0 I took them to a Polo match, where we sported fancy dresses and outrageous hats.\u00a0 But still they lay at the bottom of my bag, unworn.<\/p>\n

At the end of June, I took them with me to a book club gathering at a friend\u2019s lovely country home.\u00a0 Six of us sat in a circle on the deck.\u00a0 I took them out, modelled them, and told Cheryl\u2019s inspirational story of the shoes and what they represent.\u00a0 One other friend tried them on.\u00a0 We all loved them.\u00a0 And then the magic started.<\/p>\n

Each of us shared a \u201clife-changing\u201d moment.\u00a0 From a turning point, to a tragedy, to meeting a mentor, to the achievement of an important goal.\u00a0 We each shared how it happened, what it took to make it happen, how it felt, what was learned, what will always\/never be done again.\u00a0 Some shared things that they had never told anyone before.\u00a0 We laughed until we cried, and cried until we laughed. \u00a0It was \u201cperfect\u201d.<\/p>\n

Yes, the Red Shoes truly have the strange and mysterious ability to create amazing events and connections.\u00a0 Sometimes you don\u2019t even have to put them on.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
