yellow 💛

Dear Reader,

This week, I simply want to remind you (and myself) that we each contain multitudes—and our presence adds light and color to the world in ways we may not always see. Please read this poem by Becky Hemsley any time you start to forget your worth…

“I looked up the word ‘yellow’ the other day. I found so many shades of yellow that they had been distinguished by words like
gold
honey
daffodil.

I found words like fire and sand and champagne and lemon and sunbeam and I even found a song.

Now imagine someone telling yellow that it’s ‘just yellow.’ When yellow is a sunbeam and a daffodil and fire. When yellow is a song.

Without yellow, we couldn’t make orange and couldn’t create green and our world would be far less colourful because of it.

Yellow’s true colours are not limited to one thing. And neither are yours.

Some days you are dark and fiery and intense.
Some days you are rich and bright and vibrant.
Some days you are buttercups and dandelions and
some days you are champagne and a song.

And without you, someone’s life would be far less bright and far less beautiful.

You are you as
yellow is yellow.
And the world needs you.

Because, no matter what you think, you are not
‘just you.’

You are so much more.”

With love,
Liz

Listen | Coldplay’s Yellow invites us to explore love and the beauty of seeing someone just as they are. As you listen, pause to recognize the light we each bring to one another’s lives—and let it remind you to show up just as you are, in all of your shades.

Try This | Close your eyes and imagine a radiant beam of golden yellow light pouring in through the crown of your head. Feel it illuminating every cell with brightness and ease. Let it flow through your chest, down your arms and into your fingertips, then through your spine, legs, and soles of your feet, anchoring you to the steady, supportive energy of the earth. With each breath, allow it to fill you with strength, clarity, and warmth—reminding you of your inner brilliance and the light you carry within.

What colors within yourself have you been overlooking or downplaying lately - and how might you begin to honor them more fully?
