The Rock In My Shoe

I just got dressed for the day.

As soon as I put my shoes on, I noticed there was a small rock or something under my heel in my shoe.

I continued to walk around getting ready thinking it would just go away.

It wasn't horrible, it was only noticeable when I took a step.

I was able to get my stuff done, it wasn't stopping me from living my life.

After about 15 minutes and several hundred steps, I sat down, untied my shoe, took it off, dumped out the rock, put it back on, and stopped the suffering.

I would have made it through my day just fine with a rock in my shoe, but there was no reason to.

In my mixed faith relationships I have walked around with metaphorical rocks in my shoes.

I have walked around with anger, resentment, grief, disappointment, worry, and judgement just to name a few of them.

They were not comfortable but I just walked around with them for years.

Coaching helped me to stop and take the steps I needed to address those very painful emotions.

Just like I know there will for sure be times that I will have a rock rubbing on the sole of my foot, I know that I will experience emotions deep in my soul.

The difference is now I know what to do with both of them.

I don't always take care of them, but it feels a whole lot better when I do.

If you are ready to stop walking around feeling those hard emotions that are rubbing against your soul I am ready to help you.

I promise, it feels so much better.
