I found this nifty thingy at Towards 2012, and when I took the quiz and here is what it said about me. I think there might be some truth to it, maybe rage does drive me.... It doesn't feel like it, feels more like fear... but I dunno. It's certainly something to think about.
I like the part of adventures, and travels, that seems to be right in line with what I've been thinking a lot about lately. I'm not at all sure about the dancer, boxer, surgeon part though. So... What color is YOUR aura? Go take the test yourself, and tell me what it says.

Hiya Shirley,
Does your aura at all match your astrology? (mine did)
Thanks for stopping by my blog, yes so much to do, all we need is more time! Keep dancing, and I'll see you over at the Prosperity Project!
Since you asked, here is my aura result:
***Your Aura is Violet***
Idealistic and thoughtful, you have the mind and ideas to change the world.
And you have the charisma of a great leader, even if you don't always use it!
The purpose of your life: saying truths that other people dare not say
Famous purples include: Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Susan B. Anthony
Careers for you to try: Political Activist, Inventor, Life Coach
Does that give me permission to be life coach for a minute? If so, can we talk about your needs list? I have questions... Here they are:
First, isn't it so good to know what you need? These needs are legitimate and they are true and real for you. We can't underestimate how important they are to our entire lives.
I divided up your 100 needs into six general categories - time (2), financial (5), help (6), to connect (30), self care (22) and freedom (from situations, fear, from stress, from thought etc) (21)
I invite you to do this for yourself if you would like to - I might have gotten the categories wrong, put things in the wrong place, and when adding them up, I apparently missed a few... at any rate, it was a thought provoking exercise.
Anyway, here are my questions.
1. It would appear you have a significant need for connection, self care, and for freedom. If so, how are you meeting those needs?
2. And, if you aren't meeting those needs, why not?
3. If you have unmet needs, those unmet needs could be making you angry (directing it outward), or hating yourself, depressed, ashamed (directing it inward). I'm curious if you think this is true for you?
4. In my experience, when I'm very clear I see that everything I do, I do for me. I connect with you because I need to connect and I feel good when I do. I cook for my family because I need to nurture and I feel good when I do. I nap after lunch because I need quiet and rest and that is completely for me. When I meet my needs - oila! I am at peace and I feel like I have all the time in the world. I have begun to notice that it feels terrible when I don't meet my own needs. This feels like true hell to me. In the interest of ending the torture, I'm curious why I don't meet my needs sometimes. I notice sometimes other people don't meet their own needs and they take it out on themselves and/or the world. My question is why do you think this happens?
Ok... now I have really a lot to think about! Thank you so much GG.
I wonder if the freedom, time, and money issues would be immediately resolved if the self care issues were dealt with properly.
It occured to me yesterday that I hold an enormous amount of guilt which surfaces whenever one or more of my needs gets met. Like, I am undeserving of comfort - or nurturance - or being "taken care of" - by me or by anyone else. Almost as if, when something good happens, I worry that I will be "found out". That it will be discovered just how undeserving I really am... and whatever it is that I received will be abruptly terminated or removed.
If I am indeed driven by rage, (instead of passion) that rage must all be directed inward. Passion, yes, I am a passionate person. Intense, driven, passionate. I think that's true. How much of that passionate intensity is driven by rage - I do not know.
What an interesting exercize this little game turned out to be. I'll be mulling this one over for days!
Is your refusal to meet your self care needs a punishment (anger driven inward) for not meeting your self care needs? Does that make sense? I wonder what would happen if you started meeting one or two self care needs. Would you stop directing that passion or rage energy inward and start freeing it up to use elsewhere?
I don't know. Today I am reading "Divine Contracts" by Caroline Myss. She has some interesting stuff about abandonment issues that seem relevant. If you are not properly nurtured as a child, it's hard to meet your own needs for self care later on. She also connected it with issues of not wanting to work... and not wanting to deal with finances and bills... sound familiar?
My aura is blue:
Spiritual and calm, you tend to live a quiet but enriching life.
You are very giving of yourself. And it's hard for you to let go of relationships.
The purpose of your life: showing love to other people
That pretty much sums me up. I am enjoying reading all your blogs!!!
My aura is blue too. I think it's very true of me! Especially the part about it being hard to let go of relationships.

So, pretty much everybody I know is a blue. With the exception of my sister who is a purple... which is just as good. Am I the only red? And is this a bad thing?
Keep reading Sacred Contracts. There is no bad-just contrast which helps define what we want. I would guess a lot of blue's are introverts, it's not like we too aren't motivated by pain sometimes. You've got lots of people who love who you are and what you're about, even girls like me who never have personally met you but feel a comraderie and sisterhood! One of my bestest, most beloved teachers is an Aries, and RED, and omg, does she help me grow!! We Blue's are attracted to you!
