Why Blue Should Not Represent Sadness

Photo by Mary Vee

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.

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

Today we welcome author: Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative. I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods . When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Today I welcome a well-known authoress, one with a bubbly, energetic personality and has become a sweet friend: Julie Lessman . Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night. I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. ent...
