Be Pink, by kick-ass Pinkie Jean Kowalski, which she just happened to create after Owning Pink inspired her- and just happened to show me the day before Mindy sent me her post. Kismet? Or Divinity?
Pinkies, meet Mindy, creator of Wish Studio, a blog about nourishing and embracing all that inspires us to live joyfully, authentically, and creatively. She also writes Under A Pink Sky. Doesn’t that sound Pink? Please give her a big Pink round of applause to welcome her! Here she is:
Pink is often misunderstood. It is somtimes quiet and soft, sometimes baudy and passionate, sometimes hot and shocking. It is distinctly feminine and carries with it many assumptions and even responsibilities.
Pink is not quite the molten fire of red, nor the peaceful expanse of white. It encompasses an infinity of in betweens, often dancing with moody blue and embracing warm yellow. Pink has lots of room to play, evolve, and create. Pink is dynamic and not always clearly defined. It is flushed with a wide range of emotions.
This is me. Pink through and through.
As a teenager, I rebelled against Pink, thinking it was too conventional, too predictable, too stereotypical and girly, and I chose to dabble in purple for a while. Purple felt weightier, more rebellious, darker and more mysterious, and so was I at the time. Still I knew that purple wasn’t really me. I knew deep down that I was Pink.
Now, Pink nurtures me and inspires me. It wraps me in joy or cradles me with sensitivity. It keeps me in touch with my ’sugar and spice’. It feels pretty and creative and sexy and beautiful. Pink is dreamy. Pink is love. Pink unites women. Pink is powerful.
Are you pink too?
Pink through & through,
Mindy

great post Mindy!! I love the description of ‘pink’ – how it’s not as hot as red, not as peaceful as white-how it embraces all the inbetweens. love that!
I love your post too, Mindy. Especially Red being the Mama of Pink. I did this soul healing journey into my heart today with Jean Kowalski http://www.jeankowalski.com- totally amazing experience. But during one phase of it, she asked me to crack open this diamond and see what I saw, and I saw RED! And instantly interpreted it as my mother. Since, if I’m Pink, then Red must be my Red-hot Mama! Made me think of you. Thank you for touching me with your Pinkness, you Pink Goddess you!
thanks for having me as a guest here! here’s to being pink thru and thru. xo
It is so my pleasure, Mindy!
