Left Slipper
A promise made begins with one shoe off.
Intent on the Ground
The Left Slipper is a curious little symbol. It’s the sign of a promise not yet kept—but made with enough seriousness that you’d take off your shoe to show it.
It’s vulnerable. It’s visible. It’s a commitment in process.
Think about the last time you told someone, “I’m going to change.” Maybe it was to your partner, your Lodge, yourself. Maybe it was after one of those “never again” moments. The Left Slipper isn’t about nailing it. It’s about meaning it.
One man told us he made a promise to stop numbing out after work. Not to hit the bottle or the endless scrolling. “I took the first step by telling a friend,” he said. “Then I put a sticky note on the fridge with one word: ‘Intent.’” He hadn’t changed everything—but he’d started walking.
The Left Slipper reminds us that what matters isn’t how perfect your first step is. It’s that you’re willing to take it barefoot, honest, and committed.

Use it now:
Think of one area where your actions haven’t yet caught up with your intentions. Write the promise down. Don’t try to perfect it. Just write it.
Then, do one small act—send the message, block the time, move the money—that places your Left Slipper on the path.
The rest will come.
