Last year I quietly completed 12 months of wearing all black as part of a personal mourning ritual. It was a transformative experience and I developed such a beautiful appreciation for power of color, and the stories we tell with it.

As we head into a New Moon this weekend and new Season next week (hello, Spring!), it's a magical time to ask yourself: what new story do I want to tell about myself?

And then: how can you use color, use country of origin, use fiber choices, and use your own style to create that?

"Color is a power which directly influences the soul." ~ Wassily Kandinsky

"Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there's shadow - no, not just shadow, but fullness. You've got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that's real." ~ Amy Grant
