Healing

It has been one week since the terrible attack on the city I call home and yet it must feel like years for those who were injured or in any way affected by such an atrocious act.  Thoughts, prayers and love continue to pour out to those who have died and to the many who have suffered in so many ways.

In an effort to help begin the healing,  Mayor Menino and Governor Patrick have launched the Boston One Fund.

The One Fund has been established to help the people most affected by the tragic events that occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013.

The colors of The One Fund logo are yellow and blue.  These colors are reminiscent of the banners hung around the city to trumpet the Boston Marathon, the jackets that runners from all over the world wear annually to proudly show their participation in the event and finally blue and yellow have traditionally been the colors of the Marathoners' prized Finish Line.

While this blog is intended to lend insight to color for your home, it felt more appropriate today to talk about what the colors for the One Fund may represent to not only Bostonians, but everyone as we try to heal and move forward.

Blue is the color of constancy yet it is also a symbol of comfort.  Historically, in primitive societies, survival was difficult so the dawning of a new day, a blue sky, surely brought hope.  Blue is often identified as a calming hue.

Yellow, and it's association with the sun, represents energy and life.  The warmth of this color is always useful in lifting one's spirits.

Yellow and Blue or Blue and Yellow - perhaps the combination will bring thoughts of hope and comfort and most of all.....peace.
