Recreate? Re-create?
So these are my favorite recreation shoes! They are not running shoes or excercise shoes, they are golf shoes! Golf is one of my favorite recreations.
I do not find it funny that the two words re – creation and recreation are spelled exactly the same just pronounced a bit different. Re-creation, as defined at dictionary.com is to create anew. Recreation is a diversion for refreshment and enjoyment. When we recreate, we re-create!
As women, it is especially important to take time out to recreate. Our bodies, our emotions, our hearts need to be re-created. We can get bogged down in the daily drudgery of life that the joy of living gets lost. To often we feel guilty if we take time for recreation and something mundane does not get done, like laundry or dishes.
When I play golf, I am outside enjoying the birds singing, and even deer run across the fairways! The sun feels good on my face and shoulders. When I swing the club, I feel powerful, even if the ball goes no where near my intended target! With every swing, I have to clear my mind and focus on the shot. When my round is over, it does not matter what I shot or how tired I am, I always feel refreshed and renewed.
Ladies, put on your recreation shoes and go re-create yourself! Let me know what you did and how it re-created you.
” I love your shoes!”

Think I need these!
How many times do you hear this statement from men? NEVER! Women make this exclamation all the time! Women look at each others shoes. WHY? I am convinced it is because shoes tell us alot about the person wearing them. We can see their likes and dislikes. We see their personality. We see their mood.
Here is what I want you to do: Next time you are out at a function, party, or wherever people may be – even work – observe the shoes of the women. Then ask yourself, ” What do those shoes tell me about her?” Get a glimpse into the life and personality of women by seeing their shoes! Then let me know your glimpses into the women and their shoes! Tell me what you observe!
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!
Just by way of introduction, I want to tell you a little about this blog. For many women, the way we see ourselves is totally dependent on our perception of how others see us. Well here is my advice – GET OVER IT!
We are unique creatures, created by a extraordinary God, who has given us unique gifts and abilities. We need to quit filtering our concept of ourselves thru the media and our mothers. We need to stop looking at other women and wishing we had what they had in materials, bodies, and relationships.We need to celebrate our uniqueness!
One of my uniqueness is that I love shoes! I believe shoes tell us alot about ourselves and can actually be a window into the person you really are. Thus the name of the blog. Shoes are unique to the individual wearing them. Someone may have the same pair of shoes but the way they wear those shoes is unique to their chosen style.
This blog will be fun, and full of real life stories of real women and the issues we all face. I want to encourage women to see themselves for who they are and to love the person God has made them. I have a dear friend, Beth McAndrews, who used this phrase once and I love it! We must learn to “be comfortable in our own skin”!
So join me in this journey of discovering how to be comfortable in your own skin! Take a look at your shoes today and tell me what you think those shoes say about you.
