I’ve been thinking a lot about words and colors and singular things that define me. It all started when we decided to jump on the “one word” for 2013 bandwagon. You can see our words here.
But then I was wondering what my color would be… turns out it’s easier than I thought.
So that brought me today’s (totally and completely optional) prompt.
Today’s (optional) prompt: What color defines you?
Your five minutes starts now…
Periwinkle blue. Baby blue. Purpleish blue. Blueish purple.
Charlie blue.
That’s what we call the color. It’s the color that reminds us of Charlie.
But it’s also the color that I identify with as my soul’s color. I feel like it exudes calm and peacefulness.
It’s a spring color which reminds me of rebirth and newness. But it’s also versatile enough to go with fall colors like browns and dark greens. It’s a color that lends a special little “pop” to whatever it’s with.
I feel like that is how I am. I’m a versatile girl who tends to lend a little spark to just about any situation. I can find the funny in the not-funny, the good behind the bad, and the extradordinary in the everyday situations.
How about you? What’s your color?

I definitely agree that blues are one of those versatile colors that can add pop, be the focal color or just blend in when needed. Great choice to describe yourself.

I love the concept for today’s SOC Sunday…. and loved reading about blue. I had a daughter who would be twenty three in February. I still wonder what life would be like if she had lived. I also read the Couch to 5K blog post you wrote – I really need to try that again.

I really like the idea of a “soul’s color.”

I love that color – and your description of it. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

I haven’t thought of one word for 2013 but I like that “Extraordinary” closing you have there.
Why was I NOT surprised at your color?? Very agreeable.
I love this. It’s so pretty.
My post stinks. But I linked up anyway!

I love periwinkle! It is my second favorite color. My color is definitely pink though. It can be bright and cheery and friendly, but it can also be calm and pale and subdued. I love it!
Great idea for a post!

So, I have never really thought about it..but I guess I am red because I am loud and sort of in your face and I am very passionate about a lot of things. I do everything all the way so I definitely think I am red. I wish I were more of a calm blue. I need a little blue in my life, for sure:)
