You Are A Beautiful Masterpiece

---

Family and friends…

Are obsessed…with House of Colour…aka HOC…color analysis…match your coloring to specific shades…see which hues are the best choice for clothing…young me had it done in the late 1980s…was deemed a Fall…given a collection of fabric swatches to use when shopping…it was informative…but have to say it didn’t influence what young me wore…didn’t want to give up those favorite pinks and blues…

But funny thing…working with those littles who speak their mind…teacher me would notice when a wow color was worn…words like pretty and nice were heard…a non-palette color…she was often asked…if she had a headache…

Fast forward 30 years…it’s all the rage again…those daughters of mine see an expert…both deemed an Autumn like their mama…them reeling her in…with their enthusiasm…and so it is…this old gal…becomes a canvas…clothing…her medium…a splash of color here…a streak of color there…highlighting this…and emphasizing that…

Something so simple as color…building relationships…bringing joy…boosting confidence…and helping this old gal…create…an old gal…masterpiece…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
