I admire my sister's courage as a single mom, and hope to pass on some good values of my own to my nephews. And now, I can be proud to be purple. I have always loved the color purple and its symbolism. Now it is more meaningful than ever!

Almost always. Dowdy, frumpy purples.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16233914.post-1155147321832209212006-08-09T14:15:00.000-04:002006-08-09T14:15:00.000-04:00Oops.

Good luck and cheers. You know some parents, like me, don't like to be identified by the mother tag, although that can be such an identifying and consuming role. Hence: motherpie. There's more to life than that identifier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16233914.post-1154396470793951242006-07-31T21:41:00.000-04:002006-07-31T21:41:00.000-04:00Hi Robin and ChisR - Yes, I learn more all the tim...Hi <B>Robin</B> and <B>ChisR</B> - Yes, I learn more all the time!<BR/><BR/>That famous poem is really about women being bold enough to be themselves, do what they want, be authentic...and not wait too long to do so. At least to me, but I suspect to many others as well. So I think the association is very appropriate.
