I'm having a very difficult morning for what seems to be such a frivolous reason.
I am in the midst of posting all my high heels on ebay for a number of reasons. Primarily it's because I must pay my representative $1K to write an appeal to the dismissal of my EEO case.
Secondarily it's because I refuse to hoard things. I have an abundance of beautiful high heels that I no longer can wear, due to my catastrophic knee injury in 2001. My knee is okay if I don't wear heels, but it always hurts.
As I'm posting these shoes, I'm feeling old and I'm feeling.....frumpy! One of the reasons I love Melania Trump is because she wears her clothes and heels with such style and grace. There's not a single outfit she's rocked that I wouldn't rock myself.
I have a lot of Melania-style heels, many unworn, and I just don't want to give them up. I've stubbornly held on to them, because in a way they are my elixir of youth. It's only been the last five years that my knee has betrayed me.
@MMA@freeatlantis.comI have hit the wall of reality, though.
I tried each pair on and walked down my tiled hallway. OUCH! Talk about a miserable FAIL! I could not stride confidently in ANY of them, the way that I used to. It is done; this chapter in my life is over.
Now as I post these shoes, I'm trying to see what lessons the Lord has for me in this.
So far, I see that He is ridding me of encumbrances. I didn't realize I had so many unwearable shoes, until I started unpacking my boxes. Five HUGE ones!
I am also having to come to peace that my destiny is to not be a Melania Trump, but a mom who cleans her own house, cooks her own food, fixes her own things, and carries her own burdens. Melania Trump has many handmaids to assist her with her life, and she doesn't work the way that I do. She has burdens that I will never have in my anonymous life, so I don't envy her.
She wears the uniform that's suitable for the job she has. And, I need to wear the uniform that is best for MY destiny.
So, I comfort myself with these revelations and in that I don't have more debilitating injuries that would put me on crutches or in a wheelchair. I can still wear kitten heels, and I'm able to fix most of the things that I need to, just like I always have.
And, this is a great chance to get more room for other things, pare down my "stuff", and hopefully earn enough to fund this last push for my EEO case.
The Lord works all things for good, for those who are called according to His Purpose.
Amen, sister. Those heels are gorgeous.
You will let them go, and open up to other beautiful things coming your way.
I have a stack of shoe and boot boxes in my living room, holding shoes and boots waiting to be photographed and listed for sale.
I broke my foot several years ago, and since then I've not been able to wear any of them.
Ugh.
)I know you do!! 
@MMA But, I'm with you on the pain of change due to time.
In my case it's not better to have loved and lost, rather than never loved at all. This is HARD to do, more than I ever realized was possible.
If I never wore shoes like these I wouldn't give a fig. But I did, and now I feel like a frumpy old maid.
Okay... enough wenching. Time to get busy getting these posted and get it over with, as quickly as possible!
Thanks for listening.
@MMA
I just did something similar, cleaned out clothes and shoes I haven't worn in many years. No heels though, I never Could walk well in high heels, so I've had none for decades.
