As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps, I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with, My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow. (As an Amazon associate, I am compensated for qualifying purchases.)
As you know, this blog is about my quest for balance in my
stilettos.I generally discuss my
figurative quest. However, recently the Australian Prime Minister had a literal
problem with maintaining balance and she failed. She fell down in front of
dignitaries and it was recorded on YouTube.
I feel for her. Stilettos are the last thing that you want
to wear on grass.They get stuck and
make walking awkward. However, the worst thing that has happened to me is
walking out of my pumps without a pedicure!
I am sharing this video to encourage other working women who
may think that they’re having a bad week. No matter how high your self esteem.
No matter how much confidence you have. And no matter what job you have, you
may even be prime minister, maintaining your balance in stilettos is a
struggle. And falling down at work sucks!
I have had a tough week. However, I have decided that I will
define success differently. If I manage to get through the week without falling
down at work, I will have succeeded. And if I fall down—literally or
figuratively—I’ll know that I am in good company.Indeed, I share this quest in stilettos with
all working women.
(As a side note, I wonder what the Prime Minister’s favorite
brand of shoes are? Does she wear Jimmy Choos? Christian Louboutins? Manolos? Stuart
Weitzman? Or is she a bargain shopper? Inquiring minds want to know!)
