The 4th Annual Barefoot Week officially kicks off Wednesday June 1, 2011. The charity asks Americans to choose one day during the week to go barefoot at the office, at school or in public to raise awareness for the millions of people worldwide who live in extreme poverty and can't afford shoes. Several other cities have this same opportunity: Denver, Miami, LA, NY, Seattle, and Philadelphia so check it out. If you can't make it to one of the StubHub events, there are locations across the country where you can drop off shoes (you won't get U2 tickets but you can make a big difference). Check out the National Barefoot Week site for drop off locations.

And each year various celebrities go barefoot to bring attention to the cause.

It seems that the last 18 years have gone by in a flash as I can still remember, so vividly, my own experience of the prom and all the peripheral, but all too important details such as the dress shoes of course the date! Things have changed a bit though since 1979 in one area in particular, for the better! Personally, my self worth was very low when I was in high school. I felt so self conscious of how I looked didn feel I was pretty and my skin must have been reacting to those thoughts. I felt so not good enough when I didn make it onto a sports team or cheerleading squad and I can still recall feeling so disappointed when I didn receive a carnation that were sold at school every Valentine Day. Back in my day (hmmm now I sound like my dad!), we waited, or at least I did, with trepidation, to be asked by that special guy to go to the grad formal; feeling bad about ourselves if we weren asked, or maybe even opting not to go at all if we didn have a date so as not to exasperate the unjustified, yet, nevertheless very real feelings of being a loser! In my daughter circle of friends, which by the way, is such a great group of young people, the pressure of having to have a date didn seem to exist as they organized themselves into couples for the evening, however enjoying the experience as a group. As I look at Melissa and the young woman she has become, I feel so proud necessarily of what she has accomplished, although she is an honour student make it into a unique college acting program ranking in the top 40/240 applicants received a character award for her initiative and was nominated for a scholarship for her talents maybe I a teensy little bit proud of her accomplishments! In all honesty, none of these things truly matter. What I am most proud of is who she is: kind, conscious, respectful and a very centered, compassionate and connected young woman with a self worth that is so much stronger than mine was at her age! She believes in herself; knows and accepts who she is and I can see how she also believes and sees these qualities in her peers; allowing her to not plug into the dramas that can plague the teenage years. Last December she came to me confused as to the direction she would take or if she would even go to University or College at all! I inspired her to make the choice that felt good to her and hoped she would not make a decision to make us (her parents) happy or feel she to continue her schooling past post secondary as admittedly I had done. I encouraged her to follow her heart and do what she wanted to do and to know that I would support her in whatever that decision was. Not wanting to interfere I did offer the suggestion, however, that she could apply to the programs she was interested in as it would be months later before she had to decide, and at least it would give her that option; not applying would have closed the door completely to going to school. I didn even have one passion when I was her age; Melissa had two and so she applied for both: Fashion Design and Acting. She decided she would wait and see where she got accepted and go from there. It was a very busy winter of auditions and portfolio preparations, and as I watched her have countless 20 hour days trying to also keep on top of her regular school work, I knew that her decision would become clearer to her. Melissa went away to Europe over Spring Break and had decided what she wanted to do to the acceptances arriving. As she was going through the process of her submissions, she connected with how she felt. She recognized that although she had a unique vision for fashion and the artistic talent for design, she admitted to herself that the construction and sewing of garments wasn something she really enjoyed felt too much like work! She concurrently discovered the truth that she loved all aspects of drama lines management design meetings etc.; but more importantly, she had fun doing it all! How lucky is she to have tapped into her passion and to enjoy it so that it doesn feel like work? Or is it luck? I believe this is how it can be for everyone and probably one of the best gifts that I could have given Melissa is the example of doing what I love along with letting go of any kind of control or expectations as a parent of what she should do, what would make her the most successful, monetarily speaking, or what would be considered an acceptable path in my older and wiser (?) opinion. She has always known that she could never be a disappointment to me and my love for is unconditional and is in no way correlated to her grades, career plans or anything else for that matter! Over the years, I have developed a deep trust and respect for my daughter ability to know what is best for herself and even at the tender, yet oh so wise age of 17, that she has her own system that will guide her to create the life that she is meant to live. Congratulations Melissa! I am so happy to have the privilege to be your mom and to watch you blossom into the beautiful young woman you are, inside and out, and I am excited for you as you embark on a new chapter of your life going away to college. I know that where ever your journey leads you, you will always know the right path to choose for yourself as you listen to and follow your heart.

I'm actually not sure if I should get a pricey pair or just go with a cheap pair. Kids' feet grow so fast and I don't want to have to buy her another pricey pair in a month or 2. People tell me to get her Stride Right brand for her first walking shoe, other people tell me not to waste my money that she will just grow out of them so fast. I have looked at about 20 places it seems and cannot find the right fit because she has a chubbier foot. The wideness is not the problem, she has a chubby pouch on top of her foot that I cannot seem to stuff in a shoe. I also saw those hard rubber bottom socks called Skidders. Does anyone know if those are a good buy? Any suggestions?This Internet site provides information of a general nature and is designed for educational purposes only.

During that time, Cortez said he recalled his success this past summer in a similar situation when he played for Amsterdam of NFL Europe.I just blocked everything out and went back to that day in my mind,'' Cortez said. I was confident I would make it.''He wasn't alone.I had all the confidence in the world he was going to make it,'' receiver Damon Gibson said. Most of us had already left the field before he kicked it because we knew it was going to be good.''When it went through the uprights, the players started celebrating it was the second consecutive week they would collect the $2,500 bonus for a victory.It was the most money I've ever won in Vegas,'' defensive tackle Matt Keneley said.This money was won by a defense that never allowed the Las Vegas running game to get untracked and flustered Outlaws quarterback Mike Cawley all evening. Las Vegas managed only 70 yards on 23 rushing attempts and Rod Smart better known as He Hate Me'' was tackled behind the line on six of his 15 carries.We made them have to throw to beat us,'' Xtreme head coach Al Luginbill said.Cawley, the third stringer playing because of shoulder injuries to Chuck Clements and Ryan Clement, couldn't come through. He completed 14 of 25 passes for 129 yards with two interceptions and was sacked seven times.It was his second interception a fluttering pass in the middle of the field that was gathered by a diving Keck that set up the final score with 1:11 left and the Xtreme at the Outlaws 41.I had the same read on the play before,'' said Keck, who was waived after training camp but rejoined the team following the season opening loss to San Francisco. I was reading the quarterback, he lofted it up the middle and I dove for it.''Xtreme quarterback Tommy Maddox found Latario Rachal for a 9 yard gain on the next play and, after an incompletion, Ken Oxendine forged his way for a first down. After letting the clock run down, the Xtreme called a timeout and Cortez came on the field for the game winner. 314996 005 Nike Air Foamposite One Concord Pacific Fair is the Gold Coast's most iconic shopping destination!
