So… I have something to confess. Something really weird that has been going on in my life since I moved back home to Denver. I’ve been keeping this on the downlow but I guess it’s time for me to “come out of the closet” one more time.
I don’t even know how it happened or where it’s coming from. But you see … the truth is …
I’ve become totally obsessed with pastels.
I know. I know. Every time I think about it, all I can think of is Morticia Addams from Addams Family Values looking at her enemy and saying “Really Debbie? Pastels?” and then looking at her all judge-y.
My whole life I’ve been a jewel tone person. But since I moved back home, it’s all about mint green and pale blue. Butter yellow (and dare I say it)… strawberry ice cream pink. Even violet keeps trying to slip into my design aesthetic.
But where is this coming from? I just can’t figure it out.
I recently asked my spiritual BFF and color expert, Dougall Fraser about it. I think we sort of get the pale green part as Dougall says that represents the vibrancy of life (among other things.) After the very challenging three years I spent living somewhere else, it makes sense that I would be seeking vibrancy and excitement in my world.
If we look at this from the standpoint of angels, pale green also represents Archangel Chamuel, the archangel of personal peace. Pale blue is Archangel Raguel, the archangel that empowers friendships and peace in relationships. Pale pink is Archangel Ariel the angel of prosperity and abundance. I could go on, but let’s just say if I’m subconsciously trying to bring in the archangels I need right now via my pastel obsession, then that does make it all fit.
So maybe this newfound love of pastels isn’t so weird after all. Maybe it’s just part of the energetic shift I’m going through—calling in healing, connection, and joy in new and unexpected ways.
