When my granddaughter, Selah, was
4 years old, I bought her a pair of
red cowboy boots. She wore them
everywhere and I loved watching her
run around with a new sense of
confidence and joy.

To be honest, I have always wanted a
pair of red cowboy boots and just
recently I treated myself to some
burn-red footwear.

The boots were a special order and I
had to wait almost two months before
they arrived. There was certainly a
need to practice loving my
“impatient self.”

To my delight, the red boots were more
comfortable than I had imagined and it
was a shock that walking in them was a
bewildered challenge. The boots were
new and needed to be “broken in”.

Initially I found that I had to slow
down my gait, breathe, and remind myself
to stay focused on walking.

The rushing around I do in my life was
suddenly brought to a dramatic halt.
One step at a time became an enchanted
way to stay present and love the moment,
as well as my new red boots.

Is there something in your life that will
help you slow down, breathe, and enjoy the
present moment? Make yourself a promise to
leisurely saunter at some point during your
day, no matter what you have on your feet.

A couple of my dearest friends have tried on
my red cowboy gear and their joy was deliciously
infectious. They couldn’t help but love the boots!

Smiles,
Gena
