I like purple.  Do you like purple?

Purple is said to be the ideal colour because it is made up of red {the warmest of colours} and blue {the coolest of colours} and is associated with imagination and inspiration while also good for meditation. 

Purple {or violet} is the colour associated with the crown chakra which is the main co-ordination center of the body and ensures you are connected to universal sources of energy {always a good thing}.

Notice purple in your world this week.  The colour of purpose; it may surprise you.

Yes, I do like purple!
Interesting choice for a holiday weekend that will surely be full of reds and blues...we will all be subconciously melding the colors together now that we'll have purple on the brain!

I never liked purple as much as I do now, reading what you say about it and inspecting the purple Juneberry stains on my fingertips. Except maybe when I was five. I loved purple when I was five.

Thank you for your kind words posted on my blog. I'm now enjoying your space here very much.

I once read that a majority of children pick purple as their favorite color- for the very reasons you described. When I was teaching at a really challenging school, I painted a room purple so I'd always have it to return home to. Looking forward to this week's color...

I have so many childhood purple memories! My room used to be purple and I remember looking at the walls while I belted out "Nothing Compares to You" by Sinead O'Connor and dreaming to one day marry the boy that lived across the street from me.

I have so many present day purple memories. The boy that I will marry gave me a purple bird, on our anniversary.

miss you
