Description

1. Turquoise is at the heart of me! It rings thru my soul. Some Native Americans think that this is the color that you should see when you first open your eyes in the morning. It is truth,happiness and health. It is the color that they paint their doors and window frames to keep bad spirits out. To me it is the color of life! It is the ocean from where we all came and the place that calms me. All water calms me. I am a Pisces and when I get dry I get depressed. Dressing in this color feels EXACTLY right!

2. Ultramarine Blue has been with me since my twenties. To my best friends it is simply called Favorite Blue. It was there before turquoise and I still wear it on my person always. It is older and wiser than the other colors. It also seems to be a source of strength for me. It reminds of my dearest friends and my husband. It has always been and will always be. Lapis Lazuli is the ring I wear on my pointer finger.

3. Kiwi Green has only entered my life in the last few years. But one day it grabbed me and will not let go. It is a happy, vibrant burst of life to me. It feels edgy and new,fresh and lively. These are all qualities I cherish at my age now. Maybe thats why it attracts me like a magnet when I see it!

4. Chinese Yellow has always held me in it's grasp! Enveloping and powerful like the sun. It uplifts my mood and can make me feel so creative and energetic. I adore this color, but usually wear it only in small pieces.

5. Pansy Orange came about ten years ago. I never liked orange before that. Thought it was too garish. But now I start to crave it like food in the early fall. All my friends know this and look for orange " anything " for me around September. In fact I think it is an essential for me to have during the dark fall days. It is laughter and deep wellness to me. It lightens up my too serious streak . It saves me from becoming too morose!!

Added tidbits:
I have a necklace of sliver with turquoise and lapis that I wear ALWAYS!

I have hundreds of shawls and scarfs ,that I wear all the time , to give me the exact color that I need that day if I'm not already wearing it!

I NEVER wear black! I can't stand the feel of it!

I just discovered red and it is trying to edge out orange.

I am so color concious that my socks MUST match my outfit!! Everyone knows this about me and thinks it's deluded but harmless. (Therefore, even at 62, I have hundreds of pairs of colorful socks, which gives everyone a chance to laugh !!! )

Do you think I suffer from a little OCD?!?!?!?
