With my new ambition to become an intern at TOMS Shoes and the very best friend of the entire TOMS staff and company, I have now began to eat, sleep, and breath TOMS. Not that I didn't before, but it's even more prominent now. The people that are around me all the time are probably tired of hearing about TOMS Shoes and their amazing mission and how awesome their shoes are. But these are all true things. I can not tell a lie.
If I could do one thing for the rest of my life, it would be humanitarian work. I would never wake up in the morning and wonder why I'm doing something, and I would go to bed at night knowing that someone's life is a little better than it was yesterday. I wouldn't be doing anything because I thought I had to and every day would bring a new adventure with someone who's appreciative. I don't have a lot to give, but I would devote all the time in the world to someone. Maybe I should be like Blake. I will be. I find happiness in life by finding happiness for others.
TOMS is doing a national day without shoes. I'm participating. I hope you will, too. I will never, never forget the image of the kids I came in contact with when I was in El Salvador. Their little toes had mud peeking through and between the 8 of them, they maybe had 5 pairs of shoes to share. Boys and girls. I have a soft spot in my heart for all this. Join me in the excitement! Join me in the cause! Join me in the movement! Walk barefoot with me! Walk barefoot with TOMS! Walk barefoot with the world!
