All through school and college i wore short hair cause i felt that made me different. It took me the longest time to accept my femininity, now i wear my hair long & curly & am loving it. I still haven't got myself to love pink. Art college & life as a creative person fortunately lets me just be whoever I so please to be- so with each passing year i loosen up somemore :)Vineetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342570175344803938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-34950642741302676472007-08-19T14:01:00.000-06:002007-08-19T14:01:00.000-06:00I can relate to what you say about not feeling abl...I can relate to what you say about not feeling able to be too girlie, since moving to France I have changed in that respect. I now have pink in my wardrobe which wouldn't have been there 2 years ago and I buy girlie shoes too, it used to be all lace up clumpy boots.<BR/>I have also learnt that my migraines are part of me and who I am and I find it a lot easier to accept them since reading other peoples experiences.<BR/>Thanks for a really interesting post.<BR/>Racheal xRacheal Mileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766148041866102479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-10182891518716446142007-08-19T13:45:00.000-06:002007-08-19T13:45:00.000-06:00Hi Terri, From what you have shared with me in ema...Hi Terri, From what you have shared with me in emails and from your blog it sounds like you are worried that to much time has gone by to do something new with your career. <BR/><BR/>Have you ever read the book "48 Days to the Work that you love" by Dan Miller? It's a great book that helps people reassess and reconfigure their daily work. It has some Christian verbiage, but if that bothers you then skip over it. Aside from that everyone I know who has read it found it very helpful to give them that last little push to do something new. <BR/><BR/>You obviously have the passion and talent for Interior Design or Decorating. Why don't you take those classes you have been wanting to take and go for it? <BR/><BR/>Life is too short to spend each day wishing you were doing something else.Calie Duranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16125909585470266415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-45511139582414478532007-08-18T19:49:00.000-06:002007-08-18T19:49:00.000-06:00Hi Terri!From one pink girly girl to another: wear...Hi Terri!<BR/>From one pink girly girl to another: wear (or decorate ) it with pride!! There is that perception among some that decorating is fluff. I thumb my nose at them and remind myself that it is truly just another creative form. No different than painting a picture. Except the picture is always evolving and the process is all about discovering your likes and dislikes and what inspires you.<BR/>Have fun with it!!<BR/><BR/>LindaElle Jay Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045994700772740593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-317472377485605872007-08-18T14:30:00.000-06:002007-08-18T14:30:00.000-06:00What a great post!

At 43, I'm proud to say that I haven't outgrown my tomboy stage. I love the hardware store, tools, working with my hands. I totally rebelled against the pink bedroom I inherited when we moved into a bigger house when I was 14. It was transformed into a modern yellow, black and white space (well, it was the 70's and I thought it was cool). I have inherited a few pink things over the years, the biggest being my DH's grandmother's wing chair. I call it plum even though it really isn't. <BR/><BR/>PS I"m thinking of the Ben Moore grey wisp for my bathroom. It was good to see it on the walls, looks very nice.<BR/><BR/>ShirleeShirleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627346808902569720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-32958027133117850172007-08-16T21:25:00.000-06:002007-08-16T21:25:00.000-06:00I'm a big pink fan... but at the same time, I wear...I'm a big pink fan... but at the same time, I wear just as much blue as I do pink. Blue was always my favorite color growing up - I think I inherited that from my mom, who has always had our kitchen (the one I grew up in and the one we've been in a for a while now) in blue & white... and she did my bedroom in blue & white - a Laura Ashley pattern. <BR/><BR/>You're right about the New England area - the house is on the CT shore, right on the Long Island Sound (my family is in CT and I'm in MA). I definitely feel blessed to spend time there, but since my grandfather passed away last year, being in the house has been difficult (my grandma passed away in '99). That's also probably why I was taking pictures - to have those images w/ me even when I'm not there.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11576629637444934548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-66744757369576332712007-08-16T17:03:00.000-06:002007-08-16T17:03:00.000-06:00Melissa - yes, luckily my pinks are confined to th...Melissa - yes, luckily my pinks are confined to the dining room and the powder room. I would get in trouble if I tried them in any more rooms. The pink look can be a little elegant, so I try to tone it down so it fits in more with my rustic sensnibilities by using rustic things like the weaving, rough pottery, etc. so it all doesn't look too "pretty".<BR/><BR/>Every day I struggle with colour - I love the almost absence of colour in those white and ivory rooms, but yet I am always drawn to muted jewel tones, these muted dark pinks, the slate grey blues, and the watery ones too. <BR/><BR/>Who will I be today? You are lucky you get to experiment with other people's stuff!<BR/><BR/>Do tell about that pink chair...Windlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-38284204944614502992007-08-16T16:33:00.000-06:002007-08-16T16:33:00.000-06:00Love the pink girlie girl article!

Isn't it fun blogging about such things? <BR/><BR/>I am too constantly amazed at the creative genius and talent I find out there in the world, through blogging. Inspirational, if I let myself be inspired instead of getting depressed! :-) <BR/><BR/>That is why I agree with you on the authentic living stuff--once we know WHO we are and what WE do, we can fully appreciate all the wonderful things OTHERS do without feeling like losers because we don't do those things! :-) <BR/><BR/>Mostly I am just in awe of what people can accomplish and with what flair! Makes me want to try more things!<BR/><BR/>Fun to read about your pink side. I have one too (I'll have to post about my pink chair, soon!) but my husband limits my pink intake into the house. :-) BOYS!<BR/><BR/>Take care today!<BR/>MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
