When I was growing up in Guam, an island in the Pacific Ocean, I spent a great deal of time in the water floating and swimming and observing. I thought the spectacularly vibrant blue sky canopy that unfurled each morning, often filled with puffy white clouds, was a perfect reflection of the matching blue ocean rimmed with white foamy waves rippling along the shore.
The blue and white fascinated me!! Those two colors represent planet Earth to me, especially when now seen from a perspective high above the Earth, which seems to be a tiny blue and white planet floating in this gigantic galaxy we call the Milky Way. In this book, I share with you my love of these two colors—blue and white! The color blue represents vast open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination and inspiration. The color white represents peace, purity and goodness.
