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.

Suzanne Woods Fisher - Overcoming the Fear of Failure

We've all had something fail. Maybe a school assignment, baking a cake, changing a car tire. Well that was my shortlist confession. There really is a mile long list that you don't want to hear. Talk about a quick drive to the blues. Even one negative comment in a barrel full of praises can take us down. Sigh. Why oh why do we remember the one negative one and forget the positives. You are not alone. We all do this. But there is a way of escape. Today, Suzanne Woods Fisher is going to share her story. The Fear of Failure “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you. Do not fear; I will help you” (Isaiah 41:13, niv). Years ago, before I received my first book contract, an editor returned a manuscript to me with the comment that the writing wasn’t up to her publishing house’s “caliber.” Ouch! That was a tough remark to swal...

A Memory Device For You

Photo Courtesy Recently I added a memory game to my week's activities. It all started when I listened to one of those fabulous sermons in church and actually took notes. Later in the week, I recalled liking the sermon and searched for the notes, but lamented when I couldn't find the piece of paper. I quizzed myself: What was the general topic? I racked my brain…good grief this was Thursday and a thousand other things had happened when I asked the question. After a cup of tea, visualizing where I sat in the sanctuary, and using every other means possible to remember the general topic I finally answered the question. The process to recall the rest of the good things said was an epic fail. Although I have since started using a notebook I have created a memory game. On Monday, at any point during the day, I try to say the following without the use of my notes: General topic of the sermon Main book of the Bible used Application p...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Laura Frantz

Today I welcome Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. 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 ...
