As part of my 100th post celebration, I wanted to give you the story of how it all began!
The Stiletto Sports Saga: A tale of the Princess and the little idea that grew.
It all began as this little innocent idea in my chaotic mind on a sleep-deprived day. Isnt’ that how they all begin? Actually, they all begin:
Once upon a time….
there was a Pretty, Pretty Princess known throughout many kingdoms for her Great Ideas ~ as Editor Princess for the local newspaper, and then as a Visual Princess for the local clothier. But it had been ages since the Princess’s last Great Idea, and she was growing scared.
Then, late, late at night in Princess’s pink-bubble filled mind, clouded with lack of sleep, a little idea began to form. The Princess remembered her knack for writing about sports! Or at least she LOLed when she read her words. She began to wonder if others would laugh as well.
As the night wore on, the idea continued to evolve. By first light of morning she was envisioning herself as a Princess of Sports for Stilettos: a sports writer with a tiara (and fabulous shoes) ready to help the masses of other stilettos that were tired of being bored by sports!
The Princess was amused with her own daydreaming fantasy and kiddingly started telling people her idea, hoping to make others laugh. And laugh the others did, however, not in jest but in merriment. What a wonderful idea, they cried!
So the little idea began to grow and grow, nurtured by the imagination and vision of the Princess, until it become an all-consuming entity in the Princess’s life. Not a moment went by that the Princess wasn’t scribbling ideas on every scrap of paper, endlessly researching facts and trivia or incessently tweaking the website till it met her standards.
The Princess toiled day and night to help the little idea, hoping that one day, the little idea from the pink bubble world, would grow into something big that everyone would love….
and they would live, happily ever after
