my winter white world needs some color...

I have a friend who reads people's auras
~
he sees all sorts of colors like green and red and purple
~
he says anyone can do it
~
all it takes is forgetting everything you think you know and just looking
~
I've tried it and even though I haven't seen any colors yet
everyone I meet looks so beautiful when I stop knowing everything
that it's pretty hard to go back to the old way

  3. Color is so vibrant against the backdrop of a winter filled with white.

    I love color. I fill my home with it.

  7. I've seen auras before. The last one was what I characterized as 'glow-y'...a unique tone of yellow gold with orange teeny tiny pixels creating the color gradient where the orange was involved. Almost Monet - ish.

    It was beautiful and it was present for 4 days. That's a true story.

  8. I love story people too - so good for the heart and the imagination.

    I do have a friend who reads auras. He is a fantastic boss and uses people's auras in choosing his teams - ie don't put too much yellow in a room full of purples, or whatever. He doesn't tell many people about this though, as you can imagine.
    He told me my aura was a mix of greens and blues - I always wondered if that is why those are my favorite colors - those blues and greens and turquoises...He told me this years ago...I wonder if your aura changes as you get older or as you change ???
    May your day be filled with color today, lovely Beth.
    Big love to you !

  12. forgetting everything you think you know and just look...wow!!!
    I made a decision one day as I spied a homeless person napping on a bench to really look at the beauty of each individual. It is amazing what you see when you suspend judgement and assumptions.
    I am thinking you probably have a beautiful halo as your aura!

  14. Wonderful shot! And it's true about reading auras...anyone can do it...it's a matter of opening your heart and mind.

  15. The little girl is one who can get away with horizontal stripes!
    I'd love to know my aura, and I wonder, does it change with our moods, or changes in our personalities as we age?

  16. By the way, I would be interested in having you make up a picture like that, but I would want it as a printed photo instead of a banner.

  17. Not just the different colors, but the textures are grabbing me! I want to feel that hat! What a little cutie! Always wished I could see auras. Sometimes I think I wished too hard and that's what blocked me. I try to go with the gut since my eyes failed me.

    i'll have to give forgetting everything i think i know a whirl.
    shouldn't be too hard or take too long. ;/

  21. Beautiful Beth, I love color in my world. as for auras I try, I think it has to do with goodness and kindness to make a great aura, but I don't know much about it. I looked at the blog header you designed...beautiful, wonderful job.

  22. Color is a delight to the eyes. Opening to the possibilities is even better.

  24. I've had the pleasure of seeing auras in nature... but not around people.

    best wishes to you and your family for this magical time of year.

    Merry Christmas

  26. Hi Beth, Oh I wished I could do that too. Even if I'm able to connect with those who left already to the spiritworld I never was able to see aura's.
    But you see colors trough your lenses and given us a beautiful tribute to it because I can tell you put your heart into them. Every single time.

    Like this one, she's too cute.
    Happy friday.
