We all do it. We stress out over things we can’t control. And we obsess. And fret. And worry. Waiting for your mamo results. . . worrying if you got that job. . . reviewing in your mind, over and over, what you should have done differently in your relationship, your career, your family.

Men will never understand the relationship women have with shoes.
I know that’s a blanket statement and I realize not every woman can relate. . . but I also know that most women over 40 – in fact all women – love our shoes. We don’t all treat them with loving care.

You remember those old commercials, where a Timex watch gets really put through the ringer – stomped on, thrown across the room you name it – but nonetheless, it keeps on working. Samsonite luggage gets thrown from a plane and it’s unscathed. A Bic pen gets shot out of a gun and, by golly, it still works!
