Behind Purple’s Mystery
Be Someone's Purple on a Gray Day!!
Hi, I’m Andrea. Welcome to my website!
First and foremost, my biggest accomplishment in life is my daughter! She is beautiful, smart and loving! She is engaged to a wonderful man. They each have their master's degrees and have rewarding jobs in their respective fields. AND….. They had a beautiful baby girl earlier this year, Yes! I am a grandma and I LOVE IT!!
So, I am baaaaaack!!!!! Finally getting back to my passion, my roots and core values of “Meta'' physical and mental well-being! It truly is what I was meant to do in life!! 10 years ago, when I started a similar company, I was a fish out of water and wasn’t really prepared, life happened and that journey turned out to be more painful than pleasurable, it just wasn’t meant to be. Time, Space, Continuum!! Now with a new name, new products and services, and a huge support system, I introduce Purple’s Mystery! My intuition is pulling to recognize a demographic that is not fully recognized, more importantly, not validated! My goal is to create a space where people can connect and share their enthusiasm for common interests. This platform will be a hub for everything from DIY tips to silly stories to conversations about motherhood, fatherhood, aging, grief, forgiveness or simply being there for someone who just needs to vent/talk. It's about being someone's Purple on a Gray Day. We will dive into my obsession with purple later and how it has enhanced my life and got me through some really low times. Color, light, and aromas can do the same for you. Please take a look around my website, there is something for everyone.
Education - I have a bachelor's degree in Metaphysical Science, B.Msc., with emphasis on Near Death Experiences (NDE’s) If I had to pick a “favorite” topic to dive into, NDE’s would definitely be it! I am an ordained minister and a trained Friend Coach offering holistic services and methods of guidance. Together we can create a safe space to share the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly! Support is half the battle, if you don’t have anyone in your corner supporting you, it may be an uphill battle, but I (and my community) are here to support you on your journey to greater well-being!
If one of my articles or blog posts makes you say “Hmmmm” Please leave a comment, share your story or simply leave a topic that we can explore together!
The world is full of incredible self-help teachers, healing experts, and spiritual guides from whom I've gained knowledge. If one of my methods doesn't resonate, I have a large network of fellow-Alumni Holistic Practitioners and I'm sure there’s someone out there who has either been through it or has expertise on how to navigate it. It is my mission to offer a safe, non-judgmental space, empowering each other to be our best selves. You would be surprised to see how holistic modalities can help align your Mind, Body and Spirit!
While it's impossible to list them all, I have listed a few of my favorite Metaphysical Mentors below, some of whom you might recognize. Moreover, don't overlook the amazing local practitioners in your area—seek out that hidden gem! Once you find the right connection, you'll feel it!
Sylvia Browne - I have met the great Sylvia a few times at different events, I’ve also attended an 8-hour intense workshop that Sylvia taught, and she led the day with pure love and light with about twenty other practitioners, it was a very spiritual/intimate day. She was a lovely soul with a spitfire attitude! Her son Chris Dufresne also has the gift and has read me in the past.
James Van Praagh - I have also had the pleasure of meeting him, he is the only one who has ever been able to help me achieve the deepest connection with my higher source, and I was able to connect with my grandmother. It was so healing!
Eckhart Tolle - Huge fan of all his work! Such a mild-mannered human, and oh so smart smart smart!! Love him! Check out Oprah & Eckhart: A New Earth. It’s a must-watch.
Caroline Myss - She is an expert in the field of human consciousness and the author of one of my favorite books “Sacred Contracts.” She is a medical intuitive and has helped countless people.
Lisa Williams - If you know, you know! She’s bitchin’, I love her straightforward approach to help people heal! In fact, she and my mom were my biggest inspiration when I first started connecting with universal energy.
Be Someone’s Purple on a Gray Day!
The phrase be someone’s purple on a gray day has a special meaning for me. Like most kids, I occasionally came home in a fit of fury, because another kid was being mean or bullying me, I would cry and start plotting my revenge on poor little, sweet Sara! My “free-spirit mom" would sit me down and talk to me about two wrongs don't make a right yada yada yada. Whenever the topic of being kind or kindness or helping others in need, etc., my mom would use purple (because she knows how much it means to me) to make a point. I can still see her sitting on the floor (criss cross applesauce, but instead of sitting on her feet, she would pull her feet up so her soles were facing up, I’ll have to find a picture and post it! Anyway……. We would talk over dinner and we either sat on the floor or bean bags. No couch, LOL! Ok, you get the picture, Circa 1975! Anyway I must have heard her say the following a million times!(verbatim!) My mom was the kindest person I know! Miss you like crazy Mom!
Mom: What’s your favorite color?
Me: Purple
Mom: Why?
Me: Because it makes me happy!
Mom: What is your least favorite color?
Me: Gray
Mom: Why?
Me: Because it’s dull and boring and sad.
Mom: Ok then - I want you to always remember to be someone’s purple on a gray day, because you never know, you might be the only one that was kind to that person today! And now I finally get it!!! Thanks Mom, I love you!
In my mom’s memory, I am going to do my best to get this slogan out there. Help Support my mission to promote kindness, love, and positive energy!
