Bell’s Roller Skates are a call to go ahead and turn it loose. To hold your chin up high and just glide on through.
Bell, ever the life of the party, had an uncanny ability to roller-skate over any terrain. Nothing hung her up and nothing stopped her. Out there at the end of the dirt road she somehow managed to skate right through the mud and the grit, and yet the dust that rose up behind her was always full of giggles and winks and see-you-later-alligators.
We all find ourselves in situations where some bad apple is tryna convince us to heavily invest in their rotten view of the world. Where stressing out about a problem is the thing that keeps us locked into the problem.
When you’ve pulled the roller-skates card, it’s likely you’re in some kind of snare that only fun is gonna shake you out of. Bell’s Skates are a testament to the fact that joy is power. That refreshing your world
can be as simple as refusing to believe in the dusty old problems that hang around pretending to be the only way.
Bell’s Skates remind you that making time for play isn’t optional, matter of fact, it might be the secret antidote that allows your wheels to spin in a new direction.
