Green Is The New Black

My last post was about colors that make me – and a few creative types at my favorite magazine – happy. Since it’s cold and gray and gloomy outside today and since I can think of no better way to combat cold and gray and gloomy than to splash a little more color on my world, I’m going to start today’s post in much the same manner. Today, I am just plain ticked pink about… green! Now I know it’s a little passé to get all excited about green these days given that everyone seems to be doing it, but before you roll your eyes... my new found affection for the color has nothing to do with the environment. I’m loving green because a gal with skin just that shade reminded me last night about the importance of being true to yourself and about the unexpected joys that can come your way when you do.

As they say in Boston, have a Wicked weekend!

Defying Gravity by Stephen Schwartz

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try

Defying gravity

I think I'll try

Defying gravity

And you can't pull me down!

I'm through accepting limits'

'cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try, I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid

ofLosing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy

Defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye

I'm defying gravity

And you can't pull me down:

So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky!

As someone told me lately:

"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"

And if I'm flying solo

At least I'm flying free

To those who'd ground me

Take a message back from me

Tell them how I am

Defying gravity

I'm flying high

Defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown

And nobody in all of Oz

No Wizard that there is or was

I s ever gonna bring me down!

OK... now that we're all inspired and ready to leap... let's do it in style. Embrace your inner Glinda too. Hot Heads 407-671-1601.
