"Caribbean Pink"

 "Well, I don't know. Some things in life, like the color of a house, don't really matter. But lifting someone's heart? Now, that matters."

-August Boatwright: from the novel - The Secret Life of Bees

 

In the book The Secret Life of Bee's August explains to Lily the reason their house is painted "Caribbean Pink" is that it made her sister May feel like dancing a Spanish Flamenco. And while August personally thought it was the tackiest color she had ever seen, if it could lift May's heart, it was good enough to live in.


When we come to any situation from a place of love, where kindness is Queen and lifting the heart of another is King. It is there that we can live strengthened by each other through simple acts of kindness and focus on what truly matters.

May lifting someone's heart, always matter more than what others think.
