What’s The Deal With The Ruby Slippers?

I have always been intrigued with the storyline of the Wizard of OZ.

I identified with each of the main characters and saw a piece of every one of them inside of me. Like Dorothy, as a young girl, I was full of hopes and dreams but was never sure enough of myself to say them out loud. The Cowardly Lioness in me was afraid to be my authentic self and, as a result, I lived my life making most decisions based upon what I believed I should do and never what I would do.
