on color...

Today I thought we'd dabble into the color wheel. I love color, quite honestly, color makes my world go round! My eyes are naturally attracted to color, my favorites happen to be periwinkle, and chartreuse. I can spot these colors a mile away, and they make my heart sing! Some people claim to be adverse to color, however, I feel they are really more afraid. I'm sure you've heard someone say they are going to paint their home...white! Why white you might ask, well, because, in their words, "if they ever want to sell their home, it is painted a neutral color"! UGH...neutral! I am here to tell you that white is NOT a color! Quite honestly, white is the absence of color! White, as it pertains to light, is the perfect combination of light. However, white as it pertains to color, is zero, zip, zilch, no color at all! Can you please tell me why, just why, in a world that is so full of color, so alive, so many people opt for color in their lives? I mean if you are going to go through the trouble of painting your home, then why not add a splash of color? Why not do an accent wall of a fabulous green that seems to catch your attention, and makes you smile? Why not add a splash of color on your sofa with a throw pillow or two? Why not select a bunch of colorful tulips, for your night table, rather than a box of kleenex?! We have been given so many wonderful colors in this world, we need to notice them, and surround ourselves with them. I am a firm believer that, much like the sun, color makes me happier, and enables me to feel more alive!

Today's activity: color
By definition: the combination of light, as it reflects on objects, allowing the eye to differentiate the objects

Today I encourage you to notice color, that's it....notice color. Just take note of color that comes into your everyday world. Take note of colors that your eye is more attracted to. Are you more attracted to greens and blues, or reds and yellows? What colors make YOUR heart sing. What colors are in your home? Your wardrobe? What colors are you adverse to? Just take note. I'm sure you will be AMAZED at the number of colors that you will notice, once you've turned on your radar!
