I love P!nk...the color and the singer

I love the color Pink! It is so girlie. So feminine. So fun. Not that men cannot wear Pink. That isn't what I'm saying at all. In fact, wear pink! Go for it! It is an awesome color! And because of my love for this color, I also happen to have a Hello Kitty fetish.{Oh no...my secret is out!}

I have come to accept that it is completely okay & acceptable for a grown adult woman like me, who is about to turn 39-years old in June, to love Hello Kitty. Why not? It is Fun~

I do draw the line though. Megan keeps trying to get me to wear Hello Kitty jewelry or buy a purse. Not! 

A simple cell phone charm will do just fine. Well...maybe not - we do have Hello Kitty car mats after all. {Thanks Karie!}

Because of my love for the color Pink, I have naturally been drawn to the actress who calls herself Pink. I don't even know her real name or much of her background. 

What I have learned about her, I learned through her music and only watching one video of her.

I am sure many of you know who she is and are familiar with some of the songs like So What and I Am Still a Rock Star! I do know that when she wrote these songs, she was going through a very difficult time in her marriage, and her anger and pain just radiate through her music.

If you never got to see her performance at the 2010 Grammy Awards - it is worth watching...twirling in acrobatic style from the ceiling, twirling in the air with water spraying all over the audience... all while singing her hit Glitter in the Air...a song about Life.

Because of my own personal belief system and convictions about modesty, I wouldn't suggest to my daughter, Megan, to go out and expose her body in that way, not by any means. I also wouldn't encourage my kids to listen to music with swear words in them. I also wouldn't encourage them to even get certain lyrics stuck in their heads. In fact, this is what I discourage.

However, with all of that said, Pink inspires me. She just does. People like her.

I love that she is courageous and bold enough to simply be herself...despite what people think or say about her. She says what she feels she needs to say, in the way that she feels she needs to, and she does it through her music. She is willing to just be herself, and she is willing to be vulnerable & transparent.

Her latest hit called Perfect leaped at me through the radio frequencies because I got this sense that Pink finally "gets" it. And I also have the knowledge that she & her husband got back together so her newest hit is even more inspirational to me because I get this feeling that healing has happened in her life - and that's a good thing! 

I get a sense that Love broke her walls down too.

When I listen to the lyrics, the clean ones that is, I realize how her message is so right on! Please Pause the music from my play list at the bottom of the page before playing~

 

I get this sense that she has finally realized that it isn't about everyone else...that she is okay and perfect just the way she is...as she was created to be...with all of her numerous tattoos all over her body...and her crazy hairstyles...and simply, her uniqueness. 

And the thing is, I could so easily apply her lyrics exactly to my own life as if it were God talking to me! 

And I have, and so can you. 

Just stop believing the Lies.

And that is when Healing comes...at least it did for me - when those words, that message sung through a singer named P!nk...the message that   

You are Loved for who you were created to be... and not for what you do or didn't do or will do or will become...  
but for Who you are!

 God calls that Perfect!

Perfect to Him

I hope that P!nk encouraged and inspired you in some way like she has done for me. 

I hope today when you see the color Pink...or maybe even dare to put on the color pink...
that you will smile big and feel happy & warm all over...
I believe that you will.
