The lotus blossoms springing from Buddha’s footprints.  The appearance of the Arabic word for Allah on a satellite picture of North Africa.  Jesus turning water into wine.  These examples and many others serve to remind us that there is something profoundly rebellious and beautiful that holds the tidy tapestry of cause and effect that organizes our daily lives. ​

There is the dream.  The one that fills you up and makes you giggle with its audacity.  There are breathtaking vistas at dawn and butterflies emerging from their cocoons.  There are the lists and chores that had blunted your soul with their monotony,

I want to change the world and I want to do it in fabulous shoes.  Here are the people who’ve inspired me to do it:

• Alexander Graham Bell
• Steve Jobs
• Jack Canfield
• Oprah
• Every successful sales person I ever trained

(to be clear, with the exception of Oprah, more for the “change the world,” part than the “fabulous shoes” part)
​
What’s the secret sauce to their success, the one I’m going to emulate until my tootsies are shod in Jimmy Choo goodness?
