This is my orange heart.
To like the orange color was a decision.
I made the decision to like orange color a long ago, some years before the opening of the school.
I wanted to so badly to come out from a blue (blue?) period, as I felt like I had lost myself and the only thing to do was to carry on a boring life, sustain myself and my family, be unhappy at work, wait for retirement.
By the way: why do we use the adjective “blue” to mean sad? We also use other colors, like grey and black.
Just to let you know, all the colors mentioned above, plus brown, were my “colors” before the change.
All my clothes were those colors. I thought in that way I would have appeared serious, as a wife and a professional. I know now that I might have been appeared sad and boring.
I know now that much seriousness is hidden in – apparently – silly things.
With these words I won’t the colors blue, grey, brown and black to get offended: they are great colors as used in the appropriate way.
Thus, when I started my creature Gigliocooking school, my decision was: it must be orange.
I started to buy orange objects.
Orange is the color of energy and joy.
As my dear friend Lauren Cranford says, she loves autumn because of the happy orange leaves on the trees: they make her feel to be part of the Whole. Don’t ask me why: that’s Lauren. I love her because she is able to feel the happiness from the ephemeral orange leaves while most people feel the sadness of the incoming cold season.
Now, it seems that my heart is beating at an orange rhythm.
Stephanie Cincotta, a sensitive artist with the capability to catch out the soul from the things, saw the orange heart under my chest. She gave me an orange heart to show to the world.
Stephanis is an artist.
It is visible by the inspirated care she puts in everything she does.Below you see a finger food, where she chose the perfect tentacle of calamar.
Next you see her in action in front of chocolate

I think that it is in the blog- Postadioggi – Mail of today – that Stephanie gives the best with her synthetical way to express what is around. As I wrote above: she is able to catch the soul out of things and put it in front of you.

Her simple (not easy) action of giving me the orange heart represents, with just one delicate and elegant object, what I am and maybe I was without knowing. I have an orange heart, full of enthusiasm, energy, joy, able to send orange vibrations to the world.
I don’t need to buy any more orange things: I am aware that my heart is orange.
Thank you Stephanie for seeing it and showing it to me.
