So I went back to work this weekend.

Wow am I sore, but it was like riding a bicycle...it all came back to me easily. Like I'd never been off the five-inch (& six-inch)heels.

I think it's a good thing. I feel useful; I feel a little more confident. It felt natural.

Of course, I was also working with hubby, who was the dj. So that helped.

I was able to do my work to my standards without compromise and still make money, so I feel good about that too.

No major spiritual revelations or experiences except that I felt at home.

Now I am going to go soak my sore body and try to recover. Wish me luck for the coming weekend...LOL. :)

1. Good News and Good Luck!

MUST you wear such high heels?????

7. Ah yes...

Unfortunately, yes...although it's really not a big deal to me. The six inchers have a two inch platform; so it's really not as bad as it sounds. I also had classical ballet training when I was young; so my feet are used to being 'on point'; as it were; and my back and hips are also used to the angles. The only problems they have caused me over the years is a slight lack of circulation in my feet. Considering I've been wearing them on and off since '94; I think that's pretty good.

It is amazing what the human body can get used to, lol.

5. Yay!

You know, sometimes just feeling "at home" is spiritual enough. Best of luck for next weekend!

6. WooHoo!!

I know that must feel great to be going back to something you love. The soreness should work itself out. Put some epsom salts in the bath.

8. I'm sure you have your own system, but I've found olive oil is really helping me w/soreness.

Also with flexibility. If you don't already do that, you might think about it.
