Be sweet to your feet on I LOVE My Feet Day! August 17th

 

Our favorite day of the year is here! National I LOVE My Feet Day! is August 17th and it’s the perfect day to be extra sweet to our feet. I established I LOVE My Feet Day! in 2015 as a gentle and fun reminder of the importance of our feet in our everyday tasks. One of my favorite questions I ask people is, “What would you do today that you could do without your feet?” Sleeping, eating, or just sitting inevitably brings us back to our primary mode of transportation, our feet. Our feet make each of these activities and all the others we engage in each day possible.

As our primary mode of transportation, we put our feet through a lot each day. Even after standing or working all day, we have tasks at the end of the day that requires our feet to move. Nearly all of our fun activities, vacations, amusement parks, swimming, and driving, require our feet to step up and pitch in. I LOVE My Feet Day! is a day to appreciate them and provide them with extra TLC.

Last year, I marveled at all the innovative I LOVE My Feet Day! commemorations. Several salons and spas offered special incentives. Make certain to check with your favorite pedicurist and spa for special discounts this year. Stores and shopping channels offered shoe sales so if you’ve been waiting to invest in a healthier pair of shoes, begin looking for these specials. Travel tips were also provided by  https://www.travelpulse.com/news/features/i-love-my-feet-day-where-to-celebrate.html and news stations provided healthy foot tips for their viewers including http://fox59.com/2017/08/17/tips-to-enjoy-national-love-my-feet-day/. My all-time hilarious laugh out loud I LOVE My Feet Day! commemoration is by Emmy Award-winning weather anchor, Paul Konrad, his cronies and his on-air cohort, Robin. Recorded last year, I laugh each time I view this clip, https://www.facebook.com/WGNpaulkonrad/videos/10155503605983847/?fref=mentions

She is an award winning author, the founder of The Jenkins Donelson Foundation, JDF, the creator annual National I LOVE My Feet Day!,and the Health and Wellness site found here, on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, entitled I LOVE My Feet DayS! Carolyn's interest in feet began in college when she met a young lady who was born without arms. The student used her feet as hands by writing and eating with them. Everyone on campus was very impressed with that students' ability to overcome adversity and the respect and awe she garnered was well deserved. Carolyn earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Education and never forgot the young lady. Carolyn learned about the importance of good foot care from her mother, who was a diabetic. After Carolyn experienced foot pain she visited a podiatrist and discovered she had fallen arches. Carolyn traced the cause back to wearing flip flops that didn't provide arch support. Years later, after two pinky toe breaks, Carolyn's appreciation and respect for feet deepened and she wrote an ode to feet. In the spring of 2015 a talented illustrator brought her poem to life and Carolyn published My Feet: An Ode, which celebrates the wonderful versatility our feet provide us throughout our lifetime. Publishing My Feet: An Ode led to annual recognition of good foot care and appreciation. It was also the impetus for the Good Foot Care movement. Carolyn believes our feet tell a story about our lives. She is passionate about promoting good foot care and she is quickly becoming the " Ambassador of Feet". She is a Foot & Shoe Consultant and refers countless people to podiatrists. Carolyn is also the author of the award winning laugh out loud children's series, The Family Adventures of Princess Ladybug and Princess Ladybird. The series focuses on young siblings who are raised in separate households. Carolyn wrote two ebooks to help consumers purchase footwear. How To Avoid Killer Boots and buy boots that feel as good as they look! and Irresistible; Rockin' Hot Party Shoes your feet will love!, are how-to books consumers can take with them as they shop for footwear. Full of pictures, footwear tips and good foot tips, these books help ensure consumers will never have footwear problems again.
