Stranded

This lost sole made it 1/2 way across the street to the median before “running out of gas.” Luckily for him, there was a place to refuel.

One Antler Short of a Pair

I’m deviating from my usual lost sole find to bring you a lost item of a different kind. During the month of December, cars and trucks are decked out with wreathes, bows, elf ears, and the popular reindeer antlers to celebrate the holiday season. And if you take a closer look, you'll notice lone antlers peppering the streets. Maybe the driver forgets and rolls down a window and an antler goes flying, or perhaps the antlers are too flimsy to hang on at higher speeds. Whatever the case, the set becomes one antler short of a pair, so be on the lookout for a lone antler near you.

Let's Stay Together

Every now and then I find not one lost sole, but a pair of lost soles. I am happy to report that Flip and Flop managed to
 “stay together” on their journey, making Al Green smile, I’m sure.

Flimsy Flop



How does one walk out of the nail salon after a pedicure in a pair of temporary flimsy flops and not make it to the car wearing both? I wish I could “nail down” what happened here?

FAITH

With my book launch only a few days away, I was nervous to reveal my work to others. What would everyone think? Was my story about lost soles just a silly, quirky idea? What if no one showed up? I questioned why I was even doing a book launch when a friend called and reminded me to have faith in my story and to believe in who I was a writer. The pep talk cheered me up, but I still had my doubts. Not more than a few minutes after hanging up, I pulled out from the bank and sat waiting for traffic to clear so I could make my turn. I looked up and there in front of me sat a lone sneaker in the median. I couldn’t help but see this as my confirmation to have faith. And on the night of the launch, attendance was high and people gave positive reviews, so all was a success. Turns out, I simply needed a bit of faith—okay, and perhaps a second reminder in the form of a lost sole. 
Thanks, Sneaker!
