All I could think is, Wow, these dance moms and people must really hate me to think that someone couldn’t just like me for me. I’m so thankful for the relationship with Melinda & her family, and so thankful that she didn’t walk away when people were being so mean.

Please tell me it’s not just me.  Going to be honest here, I have very little motivation this fall.  I’m not sure if it’s the cooler weather, the looming unknowns of Covid that are still dictating so many things in our lives.  Or, is it that at 40 I am still struggling with self love & believing in myself?  In my first post I mentioned that when I was young I talked it out through journaling. As I write this I feel my mind working and figuring it out. 

Fall footwear is my fav footwear. Boots, I dream of boots all year round. I have collected shoes for so long & often wonder ‘what’s with the obsession?’. Only one answer comes to mind, footwear always fits, there's no moment of holding your breath while struggling to pull up the zipper or the dance we all do pulling up a pair of a little too tight jeans.
