Hurts Like Brand New Shoes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999078501)

Rona is a young naïve girl with big dreams and aspirations filling her sneakers. She runs through life, in sunny South Florida, thinking all will go as she planned. Her comfort is found in her tennis shoes but the shoes will change. As she matures and evolves into womanhood, the tennis shoes are replaced with stilettos. There is no transitional period in wearing wedges to prepare her for the shoe change. In learning to walk, she goes through the pain to break in the shoes. The journey is not one of comfort, but of necessity. Rona must learn to walk without tripping and falling, regardless of the shoes worn. In our closets are many shoes, which have taken us many places. It is often said that you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes. Or, that you didn't really know someone until you have walked a mile in his or her shoes? We all love new shoes but could do without the pain that comes along with wearing them. It is in pain that we can break in the shoes. It must be endured to reach comfort-or tolerance. In placing our feet into the shoes, our joy of new shoes can be short-lived due to the discomfort of the shoe. If you take the shoes off, then you are subjecting your bare feet to countless hazards. Shoes must be worn, as such as life must be lived. In taking the shoes off you are giving up the fight. If you keep walking, no matter how great or small the steps, you stretch and grow the shoe. It will eventually conform to you because you are stronger than leather. There's no man-made material that can withhold a determined, driven woman. Adjust your crowns and keep your head high like your heels.
