I’m going to start off with a silly tidbit. Humor me. The past few years, I went from loving the color pink and living it to loving and living the color orange. It’s actually not a silly tidbit. Colors have deep meaning for many of us.
As a New Yorker, I grew up wearing and loving the color black. New Yorkers wear black all the time. Even in the summer.
Then the past decade I started playing with wardrobe colors. I came to embrace the pinkness of life. Joy. Sillyness. Mirth. Hopping and skipping. Now, while still a lover of pink, I have taken on the color orange.
Orange was the favorite color of a dear friend who died. In some ways I honor her spirit of embracing life, by wearing orange. To me orange is about an active passion. I refer to it as from passion to profit. And by profit I don’t necessarily mean financial profit. I mean emotional profit. Spiritual profit.
The orange color is voluminous and filling.

Orange! My favorite color! As you might guess from my orange keychain, orange car, orange watchband, orange watch face, orange bathrobe, and, frequently, orange shirts …

When I went to Houston, Texas to visit my grandson, we went to the Orange Show there, which was a park filled with orange sculptures. Very unique.
