Today, I will blog barefoot. I will not wear shoes to the gym, or to pick up the boys from school, or on any other errand I might run. I will try to imagine not having even a single pair of shoes. I will try to imagine walking on gravel times a thousand, and I still won't feel the pain that individuals all around the world experience every day. It's hard to imagine shoes as a luxury, but so many people do without.
As I was getting in my car this morning, my mind was going ninety to nothing.
- What if I get pulled over? It's illegal to drive without shoes.
-What if the club won't let me in to workout without shoes?
-What if Zumba requires shoes?
-What if it rains?
-What if I get sick because it is cold out today?
I feel guilty for even having these thoughts. These adults, and even kids, work harder then I could ever imagine and many have never even owned a pair of shoes.
Please join in to raise awareness about individuals who have no shoes. Visit this website for more information.

What a great cause! I am staying home all day, so I'm already not wearing shoes, but I admire your ability to go out in public and fight for a cause!
Thanks Stephanie for linking up! I had those same thoughts when I was leaving this morning & it was so cold! I felt so guilty for complaining, even if it wasn't out loud.
i definitely had those same concerns - i don't even wanna think about a public restroom w/o shoes!
This is awesome! I am going barefoot today too! It was a little awkward because I had a big staff meeting...but at least everyone learned about why I'm doing it!
Oh, and it is rainy and cold today. My feet don't like it!
I love this! Amazing. Also love Toms :)
This is great!
I wish I could have participated, but I had to work today and a hospital is not really the place that you want or are allowed to walk around without shoes.
i hope those feet are ok!
