Dance your troubles away...

The color of the year for 2011 was Honeysuckle, a lovely pink shade that lead me to deem 2011 the Year of Me! Pantone described Honeysuckle as a color that " encouraged us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor." Well it really worked out well for me and 2011 has brought many changes in my life, so I was a bit sad that  Honeysuckle was on its was out.

Lately I have been feeling a bit torn, especially about this blog- I love it, it has been my constant creative outlet for awhile now, but these days I feel like I have a few too many balls in the air and not enough time or brain power to formulate a post that I felt good about. Then this morning I logged on to see the announcement of the 2012 color of the year and I instantly knew what to do!

2012 is the year of Tangerine Tango (Pantone 17-1463)
"Tangerine Tango , a spirited reddish orange, continues to provide the energy boost we need to recharge and move forward"
It's not an entire surprise or that far out of left field as Tangerine Tango was named one of the top colors in the Spring Fashion trend report
But regardless, it is good pick! Orange has been gaining ground in all fields of fashion from cosmetics to home decor and every little bit in-between The executive director of Pantone says it best when she describes it:" Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and the adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy."

So 2012, here we come! and channeling the spirit of Tangerine Tango I am going to recharge and move forward...over the next few weeks I plan to change up the format of this blog, so that Therapy by Charlotte can continue to be a source of inspiration and a creative outlet that works for me and my schedule.

No pressure Tangerine Tango, but 2011 was pretty awesome- you have some big pink shoes to fill, but I feel good and think we may be able to work together and make 2012 the Year of Me part deux!

To all of you who read my post and overlook my misspellings and poor grammar I say a huge Thank you! I'm not going anywhere, just having a makeover- I hope you will still check in and see what is inspiring me
Stay tuned
