Optimistic Orange

Orange is the chakra color
that governs our sexuality,
our creativity, and passion.
This chakra, the sacral area 
beneath the naval, sparks our
drive to love and reproduce.   
It calls upon artists to paint,
poets to create inspiring poetry,
composers, melodious music.
Orange rules hues of firelight in
the glorious sunrise and sunsets.
Tangerine skies lend tranquility
with beauty each dawn and dusk.
Carnelian, orange jade, and agate
gemstones increase and aid self-
esteem, confidence, and balance.
Orange, a color of joy and harmony.
So wrap yourself in orange glory!

Duke Beaufort Date: 3/6/2016 9:12:00 AM We were just in Arizona and noticed there are a lot of orange sandstone gems as part of the jewelry for sale there. Definitely beautiful and earthy. You are so very much in touch with nature. Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 3/6/2016 4:18:00 PM Thank you so much Duke. I have visited Arizina many times because my Aunt and cousin live there. My favourite spot is Sedona. It has wonderful energy. ; )

Richard Lamoureux Date: 3/6/2016 7:46:00 AM I think I have a new favorite colour!!! Good luck in the contest Connie. Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 3/6/2016 2:32:00 PM Thank you Richard. I have read that these fast food places paint their businesses with orange because that color increases the appetite. Cheers, Connie

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/5/2016 7:07:00 PM It's weird that it is one of my least favorite colors, Connie. Maybe I am too wrapped up in being earthy. I love greens and blues. but I do love the sunset. You did fantastic with the theme. (ironically, I do love yellow which is a part of orange). Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 3/6/2016 12:26:00 AM It is my least favorite color to wear,, but I love it in fall colors and in sunrises and sunsets. Thank you Andrea : )

Daniel Turner Date: 3/5/2016 5:04:00 PM I'm really lovin' me some orange about now! Never cared for it before but my eyes have been opened. Beautiful write, Connie. Good luck in contest! Peace dear friend. A7 Login to Reply Connie Marcum Wong Date: 3/5/2016 6:19:00 PM Daniel, I only have two tops that are orange and don't wear them often, but I love nature's hue of orange in the fall and in the skies. It truly is the color of passion even more so than red according to my Aura colors. I am an aura photographer and have taken many pictures as proof of that fact. Creativity blooms in the color of orange, which I am sure you have plenty of. Thank you for your sweet comment. ;)
