I love shopping for clothing, more than shopping for clothing …is the reason I love shopping…I buy nothing with just the meaning that it looks good and is “So Tres Chic”. Sometimes I buy things because the very action of buying certain clothing items means something significant and relevant in my life…As was the case with the fabulous red Lane Cowgirl boots I recently purchased. In a time in my life when things are moving, changing and happening at warp speed I realize that I am walking in a new direction…uncharted territory. I am at a place of Revolution. Daring to go further than I ever have, embarking on adventures I only glimpsed at before and thought…”perhaps?”, but never reallly realizing that my life could very well be me living out two of my biggest dreams of my career in this season, at this time. So how do the red boots relate…well  I watched these boots for weeks debating if they were worth what I would have to spend even on super sale… I went round and round and until I finally decide to purchase them…and to my dismay   my  shopping app read… “out of stock”. As someone who never takes no for an answer when I have my mind set on it… I tried yet again. My heart beat with shear bliss as I saw the page read… “2 left!” in bold red print… Again,I imagined myself wearing the boots, feeling confident in them as they straigtened my posture and made me walk upright…Walking focused, bold, as people stare, gazing either in admiration of red boldness, or in shock for such audacity to wear…red boots. These shoes represent for me that very thing in that very tangible way, but also as symbolism…..Walking boldy,confidently, unconventional towards everything everything I am suppose to be in Caliente fire red boots…Not being washed off the path by the fire fighters that are inevitable in life, but by embracing words of encouragement and sage wisdom of those who who fan the flame. When the package arrived cradling my red boots, I opened the outer box to find yet another box.. this one sky blue with cursive writing that read…. “If you change your boots, you will change your life.” At first I laughed to myself…thinking “What a hokey slogan” However, after thinking about it more…it is true if only just in symbolism…If you change your boots, whether fire red walking  on a blazing path to destiny, or if you stay in the same old stagnant, worn down boots, you determine the course of your life…. Personally, I take red boots blazing on a path to glory any day! Here’s to being Revolutionary in my Red boots.
