I was contacted by the company Julep to do a post about Motherhood and write about someone in my family and what colour represents them. Without hesitation, I chose my son, because although his favourite colour is blue, he absolutely adores rainbows.

To just describe my son with one colour or adjective would not be accurate. He embodies all the colours of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet and I added pink because he does. Motherhood, like my son, embodies many colours. You have moments where you see red and are fiery, days where you are enveloped in yellow sunshine, days where there’s a lot of love and tenderness and even days where you are zen like the colour blue.

Motherhood is multifaceted and parallels the ups and downs of the world’s largest roller coaster. There are moments of joy, frustrations, sadness, angst, anger and moments where you just want to give up. Then I take a look at my son’s beautiful smiling face and all my troubles disappear. One day my son and I were leaving the mall and we were singing songs together. I noticed a woman looking at me, while I was putting my son into the car. As I was leaving she came over to me and thanked me for singing with my son. She told me that it made her day to hear my son and I sing together, that instead of being distracted with my phone, I was singing with him. It brought tears to my eyes, because my son truly makes my heart and soul sing and my heart grow. Some days I joke that I’m like the Grinch in that my heart has grown exponentially since my son has been born.

When I see my son, I see all the colours of the rainbow. I see his fiery side (apparently that’s what his name means), his enthusiasm for life, his warm heart and kind spirit, his ability to be completely in the moment and just immersed in happiness, his love of nature and animals, his complete trust in me, his creative and imaginative side (boy does he have a big imagination!!!!), and most importantly his ability to be tender, caring and loving. My son truly emulates all the colours of the rainbow. If I could see his Aura, I would see a continuous rainbow surrounding him.

So what colours represent motherhood for you? Or your children? It is interesting to see how different colours evoke different emotions and represent different things to different people.
