15 months later… I’m back in my favorite heels. 👠❤️
Today may have looked like an another Sunday at the farmers market, but for me, it meant so much more.
After an almost devastating injury, months of therapy, walking, exercising, rebuilding my strength—and plenty of patience—today I walked through Eastern Market in Washington, D.C. in my Pedro Garcia heels. And I enjoyed every step. 🙌🏾
The last time I visited Eastern Market was before the 2007 fire, and what a wonderful surprise to return. Beautiful vendors, delicious food, an incredible variety of products, great people—and perfect weather. I loved seeing how the market has come back and evolved.
And yes, I know what some of you are thinking… “Julie, heels at a farmers market?” 😂
Of course! It’s me! I love style AND comfort, and my Pedro Garcia heels give me both. 👠
But today wasn’t really about the shoes.
It was about being able to walk.
To explore.
To connect with people.
To enjoy the sunshine.
To do something I love again.
Sometimes progress happens so gradually that we forget how far we’ve come.
If you’re recovering from an injury, rebuilding after a difficult season, or simply working toward something that feels far away right now, keep going. One day you may find yourself doing something that once seemed impossible—and realizing just how far you’ve come.
Today, I’m simply grateful. ❤️
What’s something you can do today that you couldn’t do a year ago?
