When I am faced with something upsetting, I don’t depress or crawl into a hole.  I ramp up; I stress out; I panic.

My brain is very, very good to me, however, because every time the winds change and I start to get anxious, I gravitate to calming influences.  I’m drawn to colors that flatter my mood – blues and greys and greens – while taking it down a notch, using cooler, sometimes paler hues and minimalistic styling.

As the new year brings with it some new snags and scares, I’m remaining calm…and a little melancholy.
