The Pebble in my Shoe
‘The pebble in my shoe’ is an analogy for an inner niggle or knowing that becomes so insistent that we have to pay attention. It is usually something that needs to change. We can ignore it only for so long and eventually have to stop to investigate it, listen to it and honour what it is telling us. Action and courage are required that ultimately lead to us living more authentically.
