Ah, pink and blue – the dynamic duo of colors! They’re like the fashion-forward couple at a vibrant party, turning heads and making statements. And you know what? We all have our unique take on these hues. Hey, fellas, there’s no shame in rocking a pink tie with your sleek dark suit. And ladies, we can go all out in shades of pink, just tossing in a touch of darkness like a mysterious purse or accessories to keep things intriguing.
Now, picture this: life can be a bit like choosing between pink and blue in the blink of an eye. Pink moments are like our joyful, carefree adventures, while blue moments are deep and contemplative. In those blue moments, I sometimes catch myself thinking they’re the real deal, the gritty truths of life. But, deep down, I know that’s not entirely accurate; the pinks are just as real.
To my artist friends out there, you know the magic of blending colors. Imagine adding tiny drops of pink to a pool of dark blue paint, one by one. It’s like a beautiful metamorphosis. That blue, bit by bit, transforms into my second favorite color – the illustrious purple, with its rich tapestry of shades and moods.
My life? Well, it’s a dance between pink and blue, quite unconventional compared to the usual black-and-white script. Stepping back and taking a broader view, I’ve come to love it, quirks and all. It’s like an ever-changing, vibrant painting, and each phase adds its own strokes to this magnificent canvas. As I write this in a pink moment, I’m fully aware that a blue phase will come knocking, giving me the chance to flip through this very journal and chuckle at my own naivety. But you know what? A drop of pink will always turn my blue into a glorious shade of purple, and change is sure to follow.
So, my lovely people, I encourage you to embrace your pink-and-blue life, or hey, maybe yours is more of a pink-and-black story. Notice how even the darkest moments can transform with a hint of pink.
Think Pink! See Pink! Feel Pink! Live Pink! Dream Pink! Splash Pink!
Now, let me take you back to the beginning of this colorful journey. Picture this: I’m on a flight from Washington DC (USA) to Frankfurt (Germany), en route to Dubai, UAE, ready to embark on a brand-new chapter. As we landed in Frankfurt, I asked my daughter to choose a journal from a charming gift shop. And what did she pick? A journal that boldly proclaimed “Think Pink.” Little did I know how often this pink book would come to my rescue during my darker days. “Think Pink” is like a magic spell, a symbol of love and transformation in my life – a tribute to my daughter’s profound impact on my love for travel and my pursuit of boundless living.
So, dear friends, I say to you, “Think Pink.” Don’t be afraid to sprinkle a little blue onto your pink canvas; it only adds depth and allure. Let’s celebrate the vivid spectrum that life offers!
And here’s a challenge: share images of pink, pink-and-blue moments in your life that catch your eye after reading this blog. Post them, share them! As I lift my eyes from the screen of my trusty iPhone, I suddenly notice pink hues that had escaped my notice before I penned this. It’s like a mini-revelation – “Think Pink, Live Life!!!” Now it’s your turn to share your experiences with us.
Now, let me take you on a visual adventure through the lens of my pink-tinted world. As I continued my morning walk after this spontaneous pause to write the blog, my surroundings came sharply into focus. It was as if the act of capturing these images had heightened my awareness. Each image is a delightful reminder that even in the most unexpected places, such as the former desert of Dubai, a touch of pink can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Grooming Pet Shop
When a pet shop drops wisdom – ‘Dog Moves Its Tail From The Heart.’ Who can resist that?
They say a house isn’t complete without a pet, and this pet shop knows it’s all about the heart… and tail wags.
And what’s your ‘pink‘ at this moment? It might not be conventionally pretty, but it’s real!
