theme thursday ...#hardwithoutshoes

hello hello!

So as you know from the post below my sister and i spent the day supporting

TOMSshoes's

*One Day Without Shoes* movement. 

 It was definatley an experience!

Over 1/4 million people spent the day today without shoes for the awareness of those who spend EVERYDAY without shoes due to not having a choice!

talk about being aware of where you are stepping or standing!

I just couldn't imagine walking around to where I need to be everyday without shoes!

The trending hash mark today on twitter for the movement was 

#hardwithoutshoes and it WAS!!!

 Every time I complained about it I couldn't help but feel sad for those that deal with it everyday :(

It was a hot day today in Southern California, so walking on the hot pavement was "interesting"...

and I read on twitter that some where out in the RAIN without shoes for the movement!!

and even in the SNOW!!!! 

thats insane! ....yet super awesome!

So, I have to say that I am glad I did it! 

It was an educational experience today!

My eyes were opened and I am officially AWARE and ready to do what i can to make a difference... 

Today I saw a photo via @TOMSshoes and it read that at the Rwanda shoe drop, a child showed up with 2 left mismatched shoes!

...unbelievable.

My heart was broken.

BUT look at the change that TOMSshoes is making!

and I'm sure they made an even bigger difference with their movement today.

*Look at their honestly thankful smiles!!*

So first things first... I need to get a pair of TOMS! I've been wanting some for a while and after today I've decided it's time.

I'll get a great pair of shoes and so will a child who doesn't have shoes.

Here I am with my cat Frankie...

...he went barefoot today too :)

thanks TOMS for the experience!

XO!
