UNLOCKING THE CODE: The Secrets of Being a Turquoise CEO

For those that may not be familiar with numerology or colour psychology I’m going to invite you to play with me. Let’s pretend, just for the time it takes you to read this article, that you believe that your birth date is a key that unlocks a secret code. And let’s also pretend that the code we’re talking about is shown to you in numbers and colours. And one more pretend - just for sh*ts and giggles - pretend that your colours and numbers hold extremely valuable information about your challenges and gifts while fumbling around on this big marble called earth.  Are we good? Ready to play?

This article and my birth date are both brought to you by the number 7 and the colour turquoise. (I promise that’s the only Sesame Street reference for today!)  I have been waiting two and a half years, 10 previous editions and hundreds of designed pages to get to this colour! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Turquoise.

As a Turquoise life-path and CEO myself, I realize now, that it’s not just about being creative and having endless ideas; (although those are pretty sweet gifts to have) it’s about having the courage to take risks and venture into uncharted territories. It’s about having the tenacity to pursue a vision despite naysayers and the odds being stacked against you. It’s about having the ability to think outside the box and find solutions to the craziest problems.   

But, it’s not always easy being a Turquoise CEO. We can get carried away by our ideas and lose track of time, resulting in burnout and neglecting other aspects of our lives. We can be too trusting and naive, leading to disappointment and betrayal. We can be too idealistic and ignore practical realities, resulting in financial loss and missed opportunities.

Surrendering to the Black Dragon

Holy lesson in trust as I work toward this gold deadline! Each edition brings its excitement and challenges and it was silly of me to think that Gold would be any different. Many of the writers for this edition are going to speak to you about stepping into your power, embracing your I Am’ness and the alchemy that comes with Gold. I am going to write about another aspect of Gold, trusting and surrendering into what is.  I had no idea how much of a control freak I actually was until I was put to the trust test this month.

For the last few years, I have taken part in a predictions program put on by my mentor Moira Bush. At the beginning of the year, we pull 12 cards from her Colour Mirrors Oracle Card deck. One card for each month. 

As I absorbed my spread for the year, I found myself feeling a bit nervous with the amount of black cards, particularly the ‘Black Dragon’ card for March. When you read the message of the Black Dragon (below) you’ll understand why I was a bit skittish about that particular card turning up. (In my Birthday month of all months!).

Black Dragon represents death and rebirth. He relates to the phoenix which is always reborn more beautiful and more powerful than before. This dragon reminds you that the journey is an endless series of deaths and births - and that is OK. He is black with silver sparkles, indicating that in the darkness there is always light. His gift is bringing light into the darkness and a reminder that there is a bigger picture. Endings are always beginnings and every step along the way is for our highest good. Black Dragon helps us release our judgments around death and darkness and what we have considered evil. 

When I picked the card in January, I had no understanding of how impactful and bang on this card would be! What stuck out for me in the description about the Black Dragon was the bit about ‘endings’. I’ve never been good with goodbyes or endings so I entered into March, with much trepidation, I was actually relieved to see that no major upheavals were on the horizon and I started to relax. That is until my King and I had the brilliant idea that now was the perfect time to sell our home and kick-start our dream of owning a retreat centre. Exciting... Right?! 

With no idea where we would end up I went to visit my Real Estate Agent to find out the state of the market. When I asked her when a good time to put the house on the market would be... Her answer was ... yesterday! 

Because I love the story that numbers and colours tell and for shits and giggles I calculated the date I went to see my agent, which was the date I signed the paperwork to list the house. 

09.03.2022 = 18 (1+8=9) Nine is an ending number, which I thought was pretty neat. I was ending a cycle on a date that was a nine. Cool huh? But wait, it gets cooler!

When this house closes (in June) I will have been here for exactly 9 years! And...

I just turned 54 this year, ALSO A NINE! (5+4=9) And...

The closing date that works best for our family is 24.06.2022 WHICH IS ALSO A NINE!!!

Did I need any more conformation from the universe that I was heading in the right direction?! With all those beautiful nines you’d think that surrendering to what is should be easy... Right? I wish!

I went into full panic mode! Where would I put the bunnies while we had the house on the market? How was I going to paint the entire house in a week? How were we going to clear out the garage that had become the storage unit for family members? There was decluttering, fixing, raking, dumping and right... A magazine to get out by April 1!

Suddenly the relaxation of nothing on the horizon turned into chaos and mayhem! I can’t tell you how many times I sat in the middle of the floor and  ... visit www.unitedcoloursofdesingmag.com to read the rest of the article.

What does orange have to do with bunnies? 
Yowsa! The last month has been a HUGE lesson in what it means to work with orange sacral energy. As all of you were enjoying the Coral Edition, we here at United Colours of Design have been preparing and producing the Orange Edition. And it has been a doozy! When you read through the magazine you’re going to find out all you ever wanted to know about orange. Every writer is taking a look at their area of expertise through the lens of orange so I am going to allow them to give you all the juicy details about orange. What I’d like to do is show you how orange showed up for me in just the last four weeks! Honestly, I can’t believe the changes that have occurred in such a short period of time. So here it goes…
