When I was young, probably five years old or so, I was given a chocolate brown dress. You might wonder the significance of this brown dress because what little girl wears brown? What a boring color for a little girl! Well, the adornment on the dress was stripes of aqua colored piping which ran across the bodice. In my little mind, I thought that the aqua piping was the most beautiful color I had ever seen. To this day (over 50 years later) I still think back fondly about that dress and realized it was the beginning of an understanding how color can affect our lives, and how we can instinctively resonate with the colors around us.

Before I became known as the “aqua lady”, I wallpapered one of the master bedroom walls in my home with stripes of light brown, Aqua and white. The color combination has always reminded me of the ocean, which brings me peace. The adjoining bathroom is also brown, aqua and white. The main bathroom in the home is a brown, aqua and white beach combination with shells and a beach scene. On the shelf in that bathroom are chocolate brown and aqua towels, the exact colors of the dress I wore many years before. Yes, I’m obsessive! Lol

When I first began doing readings professionally in my home I painted lavender roses as a border at the top of the walls in my reading room. Then, about four years ago, I was in the Tampa area and visited a metaphysical store. On one of their walls was a peacock tree. A tree was painted, but the leaves were made out of peacock feathers. Having had professional experience as a decorative artist, I came home and immediately changed the decor of my reading room. Because of my aqua obsession and my love of peacocks (because of the aqua/teal) I had a new design for my reading room. I duplicated the peacock tree that I saw in Tampa but embellished it with more feathers. Since then, clients, students, and family have lovingly gifted me peacock and aqua decorations for the room. I have to say, that the aqua is now spilling out into other areas of my home, which is fine with me. I don’t know how my husband thinks about it, but I’m in my happy place.

I’m happy to be the “Aqua lady”. People may not recognize my face when I’m out in public, but they have approached me inquiring if I’m the psychic medium they see online, because I’m often wearing Aqua. Who knew that 50+ years ago I would be recognized because of my Aqua obsession? I’m good with that.
