I think I can, I think I can...

I walk past these words on my wall several times daily.

So obviously, I did not make the decision to break up with my shoe obsession in 2015 without quite a bit of thought. And there have already been head-slap "what was I thinking?!" moments. Nevertheless, I have committed (I may need to BE committed) and shared it publicly because I really think I can do this. Such confidence on day 8 is really impressive, don't you think?  Only 357 more days to go....

Having shared this publicly, I am still amused at the responses I have received from friends, family and random acquaintances.
Here are a few examples:

• "You know flip-flops don't count as shoes, right?" 
• "Wow! Like that's gonna happen!"
• "Really? Haha! You won't make it a month!" 
• "Are you sick?"
• "Have you lost your mind?"
• "Who are you and what have you done with my daughter?" 
• "Good for you! You can do this!" 
• "So you're just going to save it up and go on a shoe shopping binge next January, right?" 
• "There has got to be a loophole somewhere or you never would have agreed to this. Seriously? Impossible." 
• "No Way!" 
• "This is going to be fun to watch" 

To my supporters: Thanks! I am going to need it! 

To those who think I'm crazy: You are probably correct.

To my doubters: Thank you! This only makes me more driven to prove you wrong! :) 

Funny thing about digging in and seeing something through - having support is incredibly important, but pushing yourself to do something others say can't be done can help you get there too!
