Where will my shoes take me?

At the beginning of the year, I always think where will I be going and doing this year? This time I phrased it a little different; I thought, "Where are my shoes going to take me?" Of course all of my shoes are courtesy of Footprints International!!! Even barely into the year my shoes have already taken me wonderful places. Starbucks, being one of my favorite places to go for my planning or where I met up with Andrea, my Graphic Designer to exchange Christmas presents. We both came in loaded with bags, talking and catching up, and had the joy of giving each other our gifts that made us think of the other.

My shoes have also taken me to meet with Ashley, my new PR intern; a play called "Working" where one of my beautiful nieces Leean, sang a solo, and to church with Greg and Juliette and my other niece, Ashley. They have taken me to the homes of friends, and to Las Vegas where I met one of my new Representatives, Cheryl and her mother. While in Las Vegas, I also had the opportunity to catch up with a friend, Jackie Jones, who hosts multiple radio shows including Small Biz American. So many places and so early in the year!

I have to say most of the shoes that have taken me to these places are from Footprints heel line; I am definitely a high heel girl. I know though that Nancy's more reasonably heeled Tino's have taken her dancing and I know that the patients in the doctor's office where Joey works have tracked her down from the other side of the room to exclaim over her cute flats (72077's) shoes!!!

Our shoes have gone all over the world. They have walked down the Eiffel Tower, they have been to Italy and I remember having to rush a shipment because one of our customers had to take her new pair to Australia. I know that this weekend a pair of our shoes are on their way to the Bahamas in the suitcase of a new friend Katie, where she will be wearing them at the wedding of her stepdaughter.

So my question to all of you is, where have your shoes taken you so far?
Where will your shoes take you this year?
As women, our shoes are like dear friends holding so many memories. Where will you and "your friends" be going this year?
