Posted by: Julie McCullough at May 29, 2009 05:11 PMLove, love, love it. Thank you, Jen. You are a gift.
Posted by: littlepurplecow at May 29, 2009 04:42 AMloved it so much:)
u were my insipiration and still are, and I belive will be too.
god bless you girl:)
I just loved this. a) what a fabulous, happy, lovely pair of legs, b) such shoes, and I loved their individual significance, c) I loved the way you turned the pages, and how careful you were, with your fun, chunky rings, making sure we could see the words clearly.
Thank you for this gift, it brought some light to my day. I feel lighter for the entire experience!
Posted by: pamela at May 28, 2009 09:32 PMOh my! Jen looks so beautiful in that photo! Love the video. :)

This was a wonderful video. I could see the personality of each pair of shoes. Thanks for the messages in the book at the beginning. Also, I loved the music added. I will show this to friends. Thank you for your creativity and energy.
Posted by: sandy M at May 28, 2009 04:28 PMThis is such pure bliss, such wonderful authenticity, such graceful joy. You are a generous soul for sharing this video with the rest of us. Plus, the shoes are pretty damn awesome (I've got the big black sandals and the go go boots!).
Thank you...
Be well!
Greetings from Paris!
Brilliant! Your video put a smile on my face; exactly what the doctor ordered! Thanks Jen :-)
ps: where could I find the first song that's playing?
Posted by: Sonia at May 28, 2009 12:16 PMthank you all so much :) geez...if im ever having an overly blue day, im coming back and reading all your gracious comments!

That is an amazing collection of shoes!!! I lust after them all. The vid is wonderfully insightful & truly fun to watch. GREAT JOB!!!!
Posted by: Stacy at May 28, 2009 08:10 AMYou are a beautiful, wise, creative, funny woman, Jen. I loved this video. Many thoughts about it will go into my journal today.
I agree with the earlier commenter: You have quite the collection of shoes and boots and skirts. Nice! I need to be more adventurous in my skirt purchases, I guess. Better yet, I need to find a pattern and shape that work for me and make my own skirts. That's a dream that is truly mine!!! I need to set out to make it come true, I suppose...
You are super, sister.
Posted by: GailNHB at May 28, 2009 06:22 AMThis is wonderful.

Posted by: SistaKt at May 27, 2009 08:54 PMoh boy...did i ever need that!! what perfect timing...LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this! THANK YOU JEN! Thank you for reminding all of us that our dreams are truly ours and it is up to us whether we give them a whirl or not!
Posted by: k at May 27, 2009 08:35 PMJen, I LOVE what you said in your "book" about learning to distinguish between *your* dreams and those the rest of the world has for you.
Sometimes it's so easy to get swept up into all of that, especially when the world thinks you need to be big time, and maybe you just want to take it slow.
"Wouldn't it be great if you [fill in the blank with whatever great idea]?"
Um, yeah, if that's what I wanted to do...
Thanks for reminding us to follow that little voice!
Posted by: Andrea at May 27, 2009 08:27 PMBrilliant and beautiful. Just what I needed on this day.

Posted by: cjh at May 27, 2009 11:29 AMThank you, Andrea, for the guest bloggers. They have been inspiring. And thank you, Jen Gray, for such a lovely video. I love those skirts and dresses and the whirling, dancing, skittering legs. Fabulous.
