I think it comes down to authenticity. We just need to tell the stories as they happened and not try to make the people or events sound better or worse than they are. Wayne, thanks for the post.

]]> Comment on Almost Isn’t Good Enough and Soles4Souls by Cheeba Thiem-Sobotka http://www.wayneelsey.com/2011/08/almost-isn%e2%80%99t-good-enough-and-soles4souls/#comment-8424 Cheeba Thiem-Sobotka Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:55:54 +0000 http://www.wayneelsey.com/?p=2733#comment-8424 Wayne - several years ago I worked state-side with a friend in Africa who was in the foreign service. She told me the children outside her compound needed clothing. I found lots of donated clothing, boxed it up, sent it and was sooo blessed to see the pics of smiling children in their new apparel. Next she said they needed shoes. But this time, the shoes we sent were not what she really needed for those kids, so she simply designed a sandal that would work! Everyone has SOMETHING to contribute to make life just a little better for the underprivileged. Thank you for "doing it"!

It doesn't have to neccesarily be with Soles4Souls or with the book. If you'd like, you can help change lives around the world with your old shoes by donating them here: <a href="http://www.soles4souls.org/about/locations.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.soles4souls.org/about/locations.html</a> It sounds to me like you're already using the human connections to change the lives of those closest to you... and that's awesome!
