One of the featured stories in my book Moments: Making Your Life Count For What Matters Most is about Blake Mycoskie, Founder and Chief Shoe Giver at Toms Shoes. Blake is a good friend and a passionate entrepreneur who is using his sphere of influence to make a positive impact on culture. For every shoe you buy, Toms Shoes gives away a pair to children in need all over the world. On Thursday, April 16th, you can bring awareness to this company and their movement by choosing to walk barefoot, if only for just awhile. Call it a "shoeless moment!" The key is to make this moment public. For example, you may want to walk into your favorite coffee house without shoes. Or, you might choose to walk barefoot into your workplace or your school. What a great conversation starter and a powerful way to enlighten others about a need and a way to meet that need.
