In the early 1980’s as a junior high school teacher I began my practice of wearing two different colored shoes at least twice a week. This was the result of a challenge from students to “walk my talk”. If I expected them to “take a risk,” in their learning then they wanted to see me “take a risk” in my living. My commitment to the students included that I would wear TDCS at least two times a week in different settings such as school, church, the mall, and always at my speaking engagements.
Later in the year I added other significant meanings besides “taking a risk,” they included:
to celebrate the uniqueness of each individual
to wear shoes of the same style and have the different colors to match my outfit to demonstrate good taste
to bring joy and laughter into our world
When I wear my two different colored shoes I meet the most interesting people. We usually have a brief chat. Sometimes I have time to explain the purpose and other times I pass on a bookmark with the explanation. This simple exchange usually puts a smile on their face.
