Why Blue Should Not Represent Sadness

At this very second I am looking outside and seeing a blue sky. Generally speaking, when there is a blue sky we're happy, right? The sun shines. There isn't a gray cloud anywhere. I can go outside and hike with a short-sleeved shirt since this is late spring.

I love the color blue. Many men and women choose blue as their favorite color.

So, who chose the color blue to represent sadness?

I am here to report that Sally Cerulean is tired of the color blue receiving a bad rap. When her local state, known for gray clouds, happens to have a Maya blue sky and warm sun rays shine on farmer fields and beaches, she's happy. Or when the vast Turkish blue Great Lake waters invite boaters, fishermen, and swimmers to play, crowds are happy.

Every object in her house is a shade of blue. Her car is blue.

Colbolt. Sky-blue. Light blue. Royal Blue. Peacock Blue. Sapphire Blue. Egyptian Blue. Azure. Turquoise.

Exciting, positive words all.

Has no one considered the ramifications of a label such a sadness tagged to a gorgeous word like blue?

Sally wrote an article and submitted it to the local gazette.
She designed a Facebook page.
She made a YouTube video
All went viral.

People across the nation have risen up, rallying for Sally's cause.

Her empowered heart is blue with JOY.
Blue with ENTHUSIASM to right an unjust wrong.

Sally is now asking for your support.

Blue. Blue. Your heart IS blue: glad, jovial, elated, amused, ecstatic, excited, pleased, thrilled and SO much more when good things happen.

Think the color blue when you are proud.

Enter to win Laura's  September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t

Mary here.     I asked Terri: how has God led  you on your writing journey? Here is what she said:   Dreams God Has for Me Thank you Mary for hosting me today. When America was attacked in September 2011, the world changed. I remember my heart hurt for those who had suffered and died. I thought how could my writing ever mean anything to anyone when there were more important issues going on in the world.  I had been writing and trying to publish for eight years at that point and was getting discouraged. I had begun to think maybe it was time to let the dream of publishing go.  A few weeks after 9/11 my women’s Bible study went for a weekend retreat to the beach. The theme of the retreat was Dream Big. Throughout the weekend I kept wondering what God would want me to dream
