This post is about Magdalena Schamberger's brilliant Curious Shoes (and my shoes, obvs). While on a Memory Bridge retreat a few years ago, I had the good fortune to meet Magdalena and to see this short. Absolutely incredible. Love love love. Seeing individuals' ability and possibilities, rather than their losses. See link below.
Okay, if we've met in person, you know the only shoes I wear are Doc Martens. Is there a deeper reason? Yes! In work and in social situations these <loud> shoes help to create connection. They give fellow introverts something to small-talk about. There have been many times that someone on a dementia journey comments on them - even individuals who rarely speak.
