She Recovers Everyday

Color Me Grateful

July 30, 2026


I don't know about you, but how I feel about color sure has changed since I've come into recovery. I used to be a person who colored my life in neutral tones and blacks.

Beige, creams, and grays. My color tastes were rather "blah" because that is how I felt.

Recovery brightened things up considerably. A few years into recovery, as my life became more vibrant, I started to embrace more vivid colors.

This period included a rather protracted time when all of the décor in our house was made up of yellow sunflowers and forest green. I overdid it, and to this day I can't bear the sight of forest green outside of the forest.

For more than a decadeand I suspect this will last for the rest of my lifemy favorite color has been pale turquoise, with white and chocolate brown as minor but important accents. Those have become the She Recovers colors, but they are also very much what surround me in my She Cave (my basement, which is my very own space).
