My head is spinning. What do I love more?
Wait. It’s words. Yes. Definitely …
Right?
Absolutely. Without a doubt words …
I think?
I mean words … what’s not to love?
They inspire. They intrigue …
They captivate.
They take me places I’ve never been before …
Words hold my attention … and, at times, they even have me standing at attention.
Words make me smile. They make me laugh. They make me cry.
I can’t even begin to describe how much I love and adore and admire a writer who can put words together that send chills up my spine …
And when a writer can take a complicated and multi-layered sentiment or idea or inspiration and sum it up in a few short perfectly phrased words …
But wait. What about color? I can’t throw color under the bus.
Color in all it’s gloried and varied hues …
Color that can evoke gloried and varied emotions …
For me, color can get those synapses synapsing …
Maybe it’s color that I love the most. I mean, I do love to be surrounded by it …
Luckily for me, my struggle with words vs. color recently took a fortuitous turn …
An Etsy shop that, in one place, captures two of my most favorite things ever …
Words …
… and color …
I love them both.
Equally.
Thank you Orange Blossom Designs for sharing my passions …
oooo…cool stuff! I’ll have to head over there after school. (I will add this to my ever-growing bookmarks.) I like words and color, too…but that whole “paint everything greige and use only solids with the possibility of a chevron here and there” just. isn’t. me.
You know how much I love your “colorful words”…..Congrats on your sponsor…Will go over and pay them a visit!!
Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!
words are meaningful and powerful!
Ok, I might just have to have that “We can do hard things” sign. And I might have to see if orange blossom wants to sell at my barn sale. Linda, you are totally worth your sponsorship. Plus I love you for putting Diagon Alley in my brain today. What a happy way to start a day!
There’s nothing like being transported to another place by the right words! And I’m an HP geek too – so Diagon Alley, here I come!

Love wise words for sure, and the very first one totally resonates. A pop of colour never hurts, either!
I can usually throw color under the bus…but when I see it – I love it. I just don’t use it. The sayings you posted here are perfect and real.
Beautiful pics. I’m a tad color-blind, so I stick with words. I still fancy your blog & wish I had one iota of your talent.
Love all of your projects! I have awarded your blog with the One Lovely Blog and the Very Inspiring Blogger Awards!
