Wanted: comfy used shoes – SCN Encourager 9/3/2013

If you spot this want ad. Ignore it.

Keep your shoes.

Seth Godin challenges us to be like authentic well-worn shoes… shoes that can “flex” with the ups and downs of life without worrying about another “scuff” mark here or there.

Check out how masterfully he writes this.

With all of us in the midst of our Back to School responsibilities, his observation fits like a glove our favorite slippers.

Between today and Friday – there is rarely a better time for us to rely on our experience and demonstrate the commitment we have to our students and families.

So now I’ve stashed away my old wooden shoe shine kit back up on the top shelf of the closet.

I’m going to wear the “scuffs” on my shoes with pride.

But I didn’t pack away the little spray can that I use to cover up those unpleasant odors, though.

I still have to face reality despite what Godin says.
