Ileana is a Venezuelan migrant, polyglot, and graduate of the Central University of Venezuela with a degree in International Studies. She takes us through each letter on a journey that begins after concluding her work for UNICEF in 2010 and continues shortly after navigating the diplomatic world in one of the Embassies close to the revolutionary regime in Venezuela. Her story includes how she survived breast cancer, diagnosed in 2020, but also how she emerged strengthened from an abusive marriage. A personal, intimate, and everyday narrative that will take the reader through a series of events that led the author to change her shoes. For her, shoes represent the way we face problems and are a tool for understanding how to navigate difficulties. Sometimes she will tell us to wear the lowest and most comfortable shoes to be able to run quickly, and other times she will show us how to walk calmly, letting ourselves be carried by the natural order of events. The author wants to tell us that we can always choose to wear the shoes of victory that the great creator has prepared for us. Prepare to go through the lines of a true story that reflects courage and the blessing of understanding that no matter what the problem is, He always reigns—discover who she's talking about. The author tells you, "Choose wisely which pair of shoes to wear, but above all, choose the shoes of faith." When a believer's foundation is peace, it's much easier to move or stand firm for long periods of time. Perseverance and endurance are needed to follow Christ, and our shoes of peace provide the necessary support, just as you can read in the Bible in Ephesians 6:14-17, NIV: "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Put on your shoes of peace filled with faith and sealed by the gospel, even in the face of your greatest doubt, because you know who holds this world, and He is your Savior who will always fight all your battles for you. Ileana Rojas, author of "By My High Heels!" She is a competitive and resilient woman, a dedicated mother, breast cancer survivor, and also survivor of domestic violence. Ileana has a bachelor's degree in International Studies from the Central University of Venezuela and completed all the coursework for a Master's in Petroleum and Economics at the same University. The author has worked as an Executive Assistant for companies belonging to some of the richest men in the world according to Forbes magazine, has worked for Diplomatic Representations and World Organizations in her country of origin, and has been an international financial advisor. The author is definitely a dreamer, knowledgeable about many cultures and religions, a polyglot who speaks more than four languages, an expatriate in Italy, a social fighter, a believer and lover of God. She's also a bit of a wine snob, loves fine dining, knows how to cook as she learned at her grandmother's stove in her homeland but also here in the United States has been trained by two great chefs who today are simply her family. Ileana loves the fine arts and of course fashion...but very especially loves shoes!
