This Middle-Aged Guy In A Pink Tutu Seemed Ridiculous.

Then I Learned The Beautiful Reason For It.

You might scratch your head when you see these photos and think “Why is that guy wearing a pink tutu?” The answer is, in equal parts, ridiculous and heartwarming. You see, this is Bob Carey. Bob’s wife has cancer. She was diagnosed with it in 2003 and The Tutu Project (as it’s now officially called) began as a way for Bob to express himself and make his wife smile. Then, it turned into something much bigger.

This is the artist in me speaking. Do not take colors off my palette

and kind of where I have issue with words.

This is the writer in my speaking. Do not take words off my paper. :0)

I understand the power of it all and use it accordingly.

sea, I know I am all over the place today.

Sorry to be scatological.

Crazy day here at home results in stream of consciousness posting style.

it is about what they have done with color pink for breast cancer. how everyone is using it in the lowest vibration and taking over my month of oct that i love so much.

hAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COLOR ALONE.

ooops, didnt mean to cap

leaving for work shortly ... so no more posting from me either

and Yes, I understood what you meant about color/lowest vibration.

just wanted to clarify to myself about it all.

thinking out loud.

why it is important and powerful and use with caution.
