It was one of the most powerful memorials I have ever seen - there were men's shoes, work boots, colorful high heels, and most tragic, the shoes of little children and babies. Each of those shoes carried a person who probably had a rich life turned upside down.Bonnie Bazill-Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15573912185764760289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075780107713018085.post-10542916778076272352009-10-12T10:27:32.383-07:002009-10-12T10:27:32.383-07:00Wow!

That must have been a powerful experience to see those shoes...and then wonder about the feet that fit into them...about the people who wore them. <br /><br />BTW, I remember those "Earth" shoes! Couldn't afford a pair, but I remember them!One Survivorhttp://asurvivorsthoughtsonlife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075780107713018085.post-15772084995379777382009-10-12T10:03:23.280-07:002009-10-12T10:03:23.280-07:00Hi Flower,

I enjoyed being a part of webinar technology and being able to connect with others all over the country - now if we can just get the slides to post :)<br /><br />The shoe analogy came to me while visiting the Holocaust Memorial in D.C. There was a room filled entirely with shoes of the victims of that horrific expereince. They just spoke to me and were so very "real" in the silent way they told their story. So I decided to tell my story with the help of my shoes.<br /><br />I look very forward to connecting with you in the near future.<br /><br />BonnieBonnie Bazill-Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15573912185764760289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3075780107713018085.post-30010640180339819672009-10-10T19:17:46.524-07:002009-10-10T19:17:46.524-07:00Hi, Bonnie.

I look forward to reading the rest of this blog and hope that you will post more soon. <br /><br />I really like the way you use the changing of shoes to show the stages of healing that you went through. It is a very interesting analogy.<br /><br />I agree that it would be nice to be able to heal as easily as changing shoes...but as we both know...it is not. Then again...I always struggle with finding shoes that I can actually comfortably wear and afford! LOL<br /><br />I will contact you soon. <br />FlowerOne Survivorhttp://asurvivorsthoughtsonlife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
