Funny What a Kitten Heel Can Do |
Day 8 with no morning news, a daily blog post, and increased
confidence. Today instead of wearing flats to work I opted for a kitten heel.
How adorable was I? I was also super tall! I am already 5’11 without heels so
you can imagine the look on some of my co-workers faces when my 6’1 long and
lean frame waltzed into work towering over everyone. Some of my co-workers are
very petite and often comment on my height. I have been asked if I am 6’5” or
how hard is it to find a boyfriend. I know that they are just curious but
sometimes my self-esteem is bruised since I have been single for a very long
time. Honestly, in my opinion my relationship status has nothing to do with my
height, but I’ll save that for another post at a time to be determined.
Deciding to wear two
inch heels to work scared me. My heart raced wondering what people were saying
about me under their breath, but after 30 minutes of negative self-talk I let
it go and got to work. I actually enjoyed the click clack of my heels against the
laminate floors as I walked down the hall. I felt like a grown up today, and it
was a great feeling. When I sat with clients I crossed my legs and looked them
directly in the eyes. I felt that I demanded respect from my clients and peers.
Amazing what a pair of shoes can do! I now understand the addiction that some
ladies have with shoes. I feel as though I could possibly wear heels every
single day and own it. Today I fell in love with my body all over again. I
haven’t felt this way since I was a teenager when it was cool to be a tall
skinny waif like the supermodels of that time. Today, I realized that I have
been doing myself a disservice by trying to make myself small so that others
could feel good about themselves.
I am me! I am not better or worse than anyone else. We are
all one. Tall, short, fat, skinny, shy, outgoing, you catch my drift….we are
one. When we accept who we are and how we are perfectly made then we can move
closer to our purpose which is my goal. I want to surround myself with people
that are living and breathing their truth. I want to accept people as they are
just as I want to be accepted; flaws and all.
It’s funny how a pair of two inch kitten heels can make a 30
something girl feel like a lady. It’s funny how owning and accepting yourself
for who you are can change your perception of the world and the people that you
used to think were smarter, or more qualified than you now seem like scared
little girls.
My two inch heels reminded me that I have vision, I have
purpose, and I have the love and support of the universe, and if I just stay
committed and confident all of my dreams will come true. I’m committed to self acceptance.
What are you committed to?
~Until next time.
