No matter what you believe about rainbows, they are truly magical. As a young girl, I remember chasing rainbows after the rain looking for that pot of gold at the end. I never believed in leprechauns, they were too scary! I always thought there was a sparkly unicorn at the end who would grant me three wishes!
As an adult, rainbows took on a different meaning. Several years ago, I was on the way to my mother's funeral. It was a gorgeous sunny day out and my children were in the back of the car. It was a quiet and somber drive...not much conversation was happening. All of a sudden the muted silence was broken and my son Jack excitedly said,
"Look mama, a rainbow! Do you think Nanny painted that in the sky?"
We all looked up into the sky and there it was...a beautiful, colorful, serene rainbow shining brightly on a clear, hot sunny day. I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was in disbelief. How could there be a rainbow in the sky today? There was no rain, no moisture...it made no logical sense. I was overcome with emotion and tears and within that moment I found clarity. It didn't take me long to realize the only reasonable explanation was...
what my son believed...
🌈
A RAINBOW is a promise
of sunshine after rain
of calm after storms
of joy after sadness
of peace after pain
of love after loss
As you can imagine, I hold a special place in my heart for rainbows. In addition to having an emotional connection with them, I love the bold and bright colors which make a statement about me! So today, I've rounded up some of my favorite rainbow inspo because lets face it...wearing rainbows will make you feel like a unicorn giving big rainbow hugs,,,and who doesn't need that once in a while?
