The Purple Passion Pride Project

                                        A special hello to all of my friends. 

Sometimes you get an idea in your head that can't be easily removed. Today, that thought was of my grandmother, and her love of the color purple. Everywhere I looked, there seemed to be purple flowers smiling back at me. 

Then I decided not only was I feeling loved, but that I was wanting to share all of those good feelings with others. So naturally I decided to do a bit of research. What can I say? I can't help myself.
                                
 Purple's rarity in nature and the expense of creating the color 
gave purple a supernatural aura for centuries. Purple is the
most powerful wavelength of the rainbow. It is the most
powerful visible wavelength of electromagnetic energy.

Purple symbolizes magic, mystery, spirituality, the sub conscious, creativity, dignity and royalty. Appropriately on Memorial Day,the Purple Heart is the American award for bravery.                               

The flowers are from around the neighborhood and the toes - duh, purple! I smiled a lot, so I wanted to share an idea:

The Purple Passion Pride project!

My idea is that every single time that any of you see a purple flower over the next few months, you think of one thought. It can be something you have a great passion in life for: a job, a hobby, a person. It can be a passion, or a pride of yours. The point is to make you smile.

One smile creates a tiny flutter of happiness. That tiny flutter can grow into something bigger, causing that smile to grow and become contagious.  What will we do with a whole lot of happy people? Promote good will and good feelings!

See that purple flower as the day's inspiration. Share love, friendship, faith, confidence, pride with those that mean the most to you. It will spread like crazy.

I am the crazy optimistic nut who wants people to be happy. Guilty! If happy is a crime, then I should have a rubber room waiting for me. Life is a good thing, people! Don't get bogged down in the negativity. No matter how bad you think you have it - I guarantee that someone else has it worse than you.

I miss my grandma. In life, I'd say she is the person I related to the most. To her, I was always her little angel. In this small way, this project is in memoriam of her.

So, let's purple it up.
Smile, be passionate, and be proud.

Have an excellent week!
