Welcome!

Who knew what one pair of pink fuzzy slippers could do?

I saw them in a bin at the Acme, a local grocery store where I'd gone to pick up a few items for dinner. They were pink and fuzzy slip-ons and they were on sale for $3.99. I'm not much of a bargain shopper and don't like prowling stores and hunting through racks of clothes to find something at a low price. I know some women, and have friends, who love the thrill of the hunt to find the perfect outfit at a price that can only be described as a steal and more power to them. That's just not me.

But I do like it when a bargain is put right in front of me where I can easily spot it and the item is one that speaks to me. That's what happened in the Acme that day. There they were, the slippers, in an open mesh wire bin at the end of the aisle with aspirin and other pain relievers. You know that section in the grocery store: impulse buy items galore. The slippers were a pretty, girly pink. I reached in, found my size and thought, "I'm going to give these a try."

Size large to fit my size nine foot. I slid my socked foot in. Like the ruby slippers for Dorothy, these had an instant connection for me. I knew they were fun and I knew they felt good. I just didn't know what they would come to mean for me.

I took them home and the magic began.
