take daily readings.\u00a0 I decided to take the pulse of this place on my daily walks in the form of a color line.\u00a0 Each day had it\u2019s own palette slightly different than the day before.\u00a0 The practice reminded me of a phenomenon that was popular in the 80\u2019s (and maybe still is for all I know) to get one\u2019s colors done.\u00a0 My sweet father decided to gift the women in the household with a color consultation with a color specialist.\u00a0 The colorist (let\u2019s call her) would look at your natural complexion, eye color, hair color and then give you a little pocket guide filled with color chips (much like paint samples) to guide you in what colors to wear, what color make-up etc.\u00a0 The colorist in no uncertain terms said I should not wear black (browns and lavender grays were my optimal neutral color).\u00a0 At the time I was a twenty something living in San Francisco, with nothing in my closet but black, from my black mens sport jacket with the cuffs rolled up to my black Doc Martin loafers\u2026there was no way I was giving that up.\u00a0 My mom on the other hand (being in a different phase of her life, as traveling professional) embraced her colors.\u00a0 So much so that when her hair began to turn grey it threw the whole thing off and (correct me if I\u2019m wrong mom) she had her colors redone to reflect this new place on her own personal color wheel.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sharing this because I think there is a metaphor in there for life.\u00a0 We should take our color pulse.\u00a0 Reflecting on who we are in the world around us.\u00a0 Sometime it is good to be in harmony with that palette and sometimes discord is what the situation calls for, to toss all that harmony to the winds (and wear black).\u00a0 The trick is to pause, to take a reading, to witness the thin places, the transitions, and the changes in our own life\u2019s color wheel.<\/p>\n<p><em>One of my subscribers, Jane, wrote a wonderful comment to Monday\u2019s post that I hope you will take the time to read.\u00a0 If you are an email subscriber just click at the top of the email to take you to the website and scroll down to Mondays post and click on comments.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be glad you did I was profoundly moved by her metaphor.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><\/em><strong>Next week I will only be posting on
