a doorway to inspired action and practical delight
I have officially caught the neon bug. Neon is everywhere! I’m absolutely in love with the Hunter neon pink boots below, but don’t know if I would have the guts to wear them. Would you?
What color has been inspiring you recently?

First, I want to thank you for the kind comments, tweets, and emails in response to yesterday’s post (about my little paper dream!). I read only the first couple of comments and then needed to step back but will be reading and responding to everyone within a few days. It was scary posting my thoughts on this little paper dream, but am so grateful that I did. The support you provided helps me feel a little less vulnerable and alone as I embark on this journey. I’m excited to continue sharing the process with you!
I approached today’s “Color Me Happy” post a bit differently than usual. I was pulled towards one image full of pink and orange. Every time I looked at it, I felt my spirits lift. Rather than find other images to go with this captivating one, I decided to jot down some cheerful thoughts associated with these colors. Together, I think it forms a lovely little color story. I hope it brings you a moment of joy :).
I am going to put the “pin it” button below as many find it useful. However, I’ve heard from a few people who receive posts via email that the button is giving them issues. If you are having issues, please let me know so I can collect data and figure out a solution!

While I normally work on these color boards for at least a week before posting (since I’m a newbie at photoshop and pretty much all things design/creative), I began this board yesterday. I thought it would be a great test to see how my skills and confidence have progressed (failed test!). I would love to fiddle around with this board some more, but will resist my perfectionist tendencies :).
For this color board, I chose pink blush. I have been so drawn to this soft color recently. And just so you know, I completely forgot when working on this board that next week is Valentine’s Day and everyone is experiencing pink + red overload. Hopefully, this board doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day and provides a quiet respite for your eyes and mind. Are you experiencing pink + red overload this week? What color is inspiring you?

p.s. i’m moving next week (to miami) and hope to continue posting as usual, but if I go missing, just know that I’m buried in boxes and wish i were here :).

I didn’t realize how much I love pink until I began pulling together today’s pink themed board. While I don’t gravitate towards things that scream, PINK (a la legally blonde), I do like pops of pink and little pink accent pieces/accessories. More importantly, I wanted to use this post and “color me happy” board to gently remind you that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please take a moment out of your day to learn more about early detection screening (you are never too young to begin screening). Cancer is a scary topic, but don’t let fear get in the way of educating yourself. Knowledge is power.
How does pink make you feel? What color is inspiring you today?
