This month's theme is autumn.

September 6, 2026 - Today's card reminds us to honor the changes in our lives. Some are cyclical like nature, some only happen from time to time, and others come once in a lifetime. Whatever changes are happening in your life right now, take time to reflect and be grateful for the path you are on. 💛 JoAnne

Every one of us has faced moments that asked us to be brave.

Sometimes courage is loud.

Sometimes it's quiet.

Sometimes it's simply taking the very next step.

Today, I'd love to invite you to pause for just a moment...

Close your eyes.

Take a slow breath.

Now think of the word...

COURAGE

Don't search for an answer.

Just notice what arrives.

🎨 If courage had a color, what color comes to you?

Share your color in the comments. If you'd like, I'd also love to hear what that color represents to you.

Thank you for continuing to explore these Color Conversations with me. Your reflections remind me that there are countless beautiful ways to experience the same word. 💛

August 30, 2026 - Dahlia: Today's card reminds us about grace under fire. Change is part of life. How you choose to deal with it can either make or break you. We were never meant to stay the same, so embrace your evolution with an open mind and heart. 💛 JoAnne

Let's pause together for just a moment...

Take a slow, gentle breath.

Now think of the word...

PEACE

Don't try to analyze it.
Don't search for the "right" answer.

Simply notice...

🎨 If peace had a color, what color comes to you?

Feel free to share your color in the comments. If you'd like to tell us why, I'd love to hear your thoughts—but one word is just as meaningful.

There are no right or wrong answers, only the unique ways each of us experiences the world.

Thank you for sharing a little piece of your heart with this community. 💛

August 23, 2026 - Black-eyed Susan: Today's card encourages us to be a leader and advocate for what is right. When others seem to follow out of fear, allegiance, or blind faith, you step back and make your own conclusions. The world needs more people who are willing to risk being unpopular to expose that which is wrong or untrue. Be brave and follow what feels right in your heart. 💛 JoAnne

Have you ever noticed yourself becoming drawn to a color that never really caught your attention before?

No particular reason...
It just seems to keep showing up.

Maybe you're choosing clothing in that color.
Maybe you're buying flowers.
Maybe you're decorating with it.
Maybe you simply find yourself noticing it everywhere.

🎨 Is there a color you've been unexpectedly drawn to lately?

Trust your first response rather than thinking it through.

If you'd like to share, I'd love to hear what color it is and whether you've noticed it appearing in different areas of your life.

Every conversation reminds me that our relationship with color is wonderfully personal, and I love hearing your unique experiences. 💛

August 16, 2026 - Gladiolus: Today's card urges us to stand in our own power even when it feels like everything or everyone is against us. Sometimes our challenges or challengers help bring us into better alignment with our own truths, so don't be afraid to stand tall, live and learn, and be true to yourself. 💛 JoAnne

Today's question takes us back...

Think about yourself as a child.

Before life became busy.
Before expectations.
Before you gave much thought to what colors "should" mean.

🎨 What color were you most drawn to as a child?

Was it in your clothes?
Your crayons?
The flowers you picked?
The toys you chose?
The colors you noticed in nature?

Don't overthink it—just notice the first color that comes to mind.

If you'd like, tell us why you think that color spoke to you back then...or perhaps it still does.

I'm loving the stories and reflections you're sharing. Every answer reminds me that color is more than something we see—it can also be something we experience. 💛

August 9, 2026 - Coneflower: Today's card reminds us to remember who we are when life brings us challenges we feel are too much to handle. When in doubt remind yourself that you are strong, worthy, and beautiful inside and out.
