Cinderella is a folk tale about a beautiful young woman in the throes of unjust oppression alias wins out triumphantly when her charming prince appears with her perfect glass slipper.

The new version is about a Cinder(f)ellow that I am in search of. The little play on words or fellow, is what I am looking for. Three months ago I had a dream about a man in black shoes standing at the foot of the pagoda I view out my window. ( Blog entitled: “The mysterious man in black shoes” ) He wears the most compelling black shoes. I will say I have had some enchanting interest in this blog from a variety of prince charmings. A photographer in Dallas emailed me stating he has black shoes, as well as a variety of other shades. An Australian Queensland bloke has also taken a keen interest in my Cinder(f)ellow quest and quizzed me as to what they actually look like, trying to get a lead. I will say they are not in any fashion a boot. To the camera buff I say only black. There is an enchilada dinner, waiting in Houston with a wonderful man and his dog Nellie. To Nellie I say don’t chew up any black shoes. At last to my Washington state Reiki friend, the distance is long and how in the world will I ever see your charming shoes?

Now you know the tale of this China doll looking for her Cinderfellow. To others with an interest in the quest of the right black shoes, attach a reply and I will be happy to review your shoe fashion. You never know you may just get lucky.

Isn’t life fun, when you live it playfully?
