Living Purple
Purple represents many things to me. Besides being remarkable, unique, and different, it also symbolizes courage, spirituality and passion. You need courage in order to challenge the status-quo, get over fears and setbacks and continue living life on the fringe.
Spirituality, while skeptics and atheists will say is unnecessary, provides a basis to help balance your inner world regardless of how chaotic the outer world can be. I’m not talking Bible thumping Evangelists, or the belief in God or No God. I’m talking about that universal sense that we’re all connected, and part of one consciousness. The beauty about spirituality is that it doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Whether its in a traditional church, or roller derby, you can find connection everywhere.
Passion is food for the soul. Purple passion is often paired together for cutesy marketing. It sounds like a fruit smoothie, or a type of lip gloss from Bonne Bell. Either way, you kind of want to eat it. Passion is the stuff of remarkable people. Living a remarkable lifestyle means following your inner passions and creating happiness through creation and creativity itself, rather than buying the next new gadget to keep up with the Joneses. Living passionately means you don’t have to buy in to other’s ideas of happiness anymore, because you can cultivate it within yourself! The less dependent you are on products for self-esteem and self-worth, the more you can develop your real purpose and live life authentically.
The UNauthority
I am not a Type A personality. I am an introvert who never would have thought to call myself a leader. I am a normal woman with fears, lack of confidence, and inferiority complexes, and I intend to document all of my strengths and weaknesses. I’m not interested in telling you what to do, or giving you the next best product on how to make money online. I’m interested in challenging your perceptions and giving you tools to think for yourself. I am not an expert on How to Live Remarkably or How to Find Your Passions. All I can do is offer my experiences, passions and lead by example. If I can do it, so can you!
My disdain for being an Authority on living Purple probably stems from my punk-rock ethics and anarchy bent. The same way that my favorite literature is 1984 by George Orwell and I like films like Brazil and V for Vendetta. I’m a modern day Peter Pan and I’d like to experience the childlike more than the adult authority. The sense of wonder, curiosity and creativity that stems from childhood is precious, and something that should be cultivated throughout all stages of life.
Professional Hobo
I am a homeless nomad without a permanent address. In order to go from Poor Hobo to Professional Hobo, I have crafted my blog around providing value and would like to extend my help by using my design and web skills. Good design is important to launching a project, blog, business venture, or product and I would love to help support your passions in the best way I know how. Purple Panda was designed and customized by yours truly. If you are interested in my graphic design, web design or social media services, please go to http://www.byjanet.net and don’t hesitate to contact me. I price by the project and not by an hourly rate and will quote you a negotiable fee that takes into account my talent and time.
