I find hope & it gives me rest I find hope in a beating chest I find hope in what eyes don't see I find hope in your hate for me

There are two things that I really love being apart of in my life:
Blogging & TOMS. Blogging because I get to have my voice out there & I get to hear y'alls.
TOMS because I know that there is something out there that is bigger then me, but I can help in a small way & look cute doing it.

A couple of weeks ago one of my favorite blogger friends, Alfie, had one of the most brilliant ideas I have heard of. Both of us have many things in common & one of them is that we share a love for TOMS shoes. We put our heads together & thought it would be so fun to post every Thursday a photo of our own TOMS on our blogs & where we had traveled to that week.
So this is the first week of our blogging adventure called, TOMS in motion: a global photo project.

So if you come on here on Thursdays, you have to make sure & visit her amazing blog too, to see where she has been! So go on, go see right now! Oh wait comment first, then go see!
We both would love if you want to jump in on the fun to take on the global photo project with us! Link back to your post in the comment box.
Both Alfie & I are so excited to take on this blogging adventure & to see what y'all have to say.

Gypsy feet will wander Gypsy feet will stray neither love nor thunder can ever make them stay I can't tame a heart so wild like a jungle drum it beats

Tomorrow I will have the privilege to join with others all over the world and going barefoot all day for people that are not able to have a pair of shoes. If you have heard or even own a pair of TOMS shoes you probably know what I'm talking about. One Day Without Shoes is one of my favorite days of the year! Not only because it's an amazing cause, but I get an excuse for not wearing shoes! I'm a barefoot girl, so this day was made for me. I did One Day Without Shoes for the first time last year with a friend. We made shirts that said, "Going barefoot for one child without shoes." Then we had TOMS written on the shirt too. I remember how excited & so ready to tell anyone that asked me why I was walking around with bare feet. I did a lot of walking that day. I decided to walk to my campus, might have been not so smart. You become so much more aware of what's on the ground then ever before. I had to make sure there was no glass or sharp rocks were I would step. Every time I found a patch of grass, I ran to it like I had never seen something so beautiful in my life. Oh grass, thank you God for the soft, cushy grass. By the time I got back home my feet were burning like never before. I'm not a sissy at all, I used to climb trees barefoot all the time when I was a kid. But I had never felt so much pain on my feet in my life. I sat with my feet in the air until I had to head out again.
I'm still very excited this year about doing this! There are so many people doing it & it has grown so much since last year! There is actually a group that is going to meet in the square in down town Denton and have a barefoot walk around town. Yes, I am so planning on doing it! It's all about coming together and being heard & experiencing something that regular people all over this earth go through everyday. So APRIL 8th GO BAREFOOT & Be FREE!
I hope to work for a company like TOMS someday. Companies like this are changing the world & my generation is a part of it. Dude, how epic is that?!
Here are my photos from last year.

So I’ll stand With arms high and heart abandoned In awe of the One who gave it all So I’ll stand My soul Lord to You surrendered All I am is Yours

Do you ever see something that completely makes you feel like what you are doing now, is not up to what you know you could be doing? Looking through my blogs the other day I stopped over at All Things Lovely , Kylie's wonderful inspirational blog. She had posted a video of a movie that is about to come out made by Hillsong United. I'm very familiar with Hillsong & I have loved their music since junior high, but they have never done anything like this film before. I'm so excited about it to come out & I know it will be something that has impact on a lot of people. One thing that on of the band members says in the video is, "You see these streets & people going about life. If what's happening in those four walls is having no effect on those streets we travel down to get there, then maybe we are missing the point." Kylie told me the film is coming out here in the state on November 4th she thinks, so be looking out for it. To see more of what this film & movement is all about, go here I-Heart Revolution.
