Reinventing Myself at 30

July of this years marks three decades of  Lauren Liburd on this earth. I must say, I am very blessed. I have a beautiful home, a wonderful daughter, loving family and friends, and new opportunities are opening up for me all the time. As my 'dirty 30' fast approaches, I have really started understand myself more, what I like and don't like and what makes me happy. This may seem so obvious but I have decided to surround myself with things that make me happy. Don't get me wrong, when it it comes to my footwear I have always bought shoes that make me smile even if my outfit doesn't give me goosebumps.

As summer approaches, I have started to purge my closet of all the clothes I am longer in love with but hold on to in the slight off chance that I may somehow be inspired to wear them again. So now that my wardrobe is down to the bear bones, where do I start to build up my new soul stirring, " you make me smile", look? Why shoes of course!!!

The next stage of my life is marked by sexiness, healthy choices, and taking care of me. Nourishing Lauren from the inside requires change in diet, exercise, meditation, and shoes that reflect my inner glow. I am thinking a lot of jewels, beads, warm colors and metallics.  Anything that makes me feels like royalty will work. (nice!)

I suppose everyone goes through a period of wanting to do or be something different. So many changes have occurred in my life over the last year that I didn't have control over (which is fine), I guess this my way of consciously shifting to match my positive persocetive on these changes.
