I began this blog as a way to redefine, or perhaps rediscover, the beauty of ME after losing all my hair to alopecia universalis over 5 years ago. Join me in the movement to see ourselves and our world through a lens not offered by our culture.

Short odes to Purple

Personally, I think a blog about beauty MUST include a post about the color purple. So here's mine.


If my soul had a color
it would be purple.
Childish, yet deep and alluring.


The place I escape to,
the only place I melt into
and stop the world from spinning,
is purple and hazy.



A face with purple accents
speaks of inner beauty
and mystery,
a quiet love for adventure,
a romantic imagination.

Purple on a woman is
endless.


Purple on the road
is a portal
to the place where you will love
completely
and be loved
deeply.

A purple sky is
an invitation to magic.


I need purple in my home,
my soft place to fall into.
I need purple to wear,
bringing romance with me.
I need purple to gaze at me
with the promise of more.

God gave me purple.

Purple, you will be my color this fall.

    This was so beautiful. Purple is my favorite color and I just love how you put into words how you connect with this color. Purple is soul deep.
