Recently I was asked why we have chosen a purple heart shaped stress ball as one of the symbols to represent the work of Cope Consulting LLC. Purple is my son, Jack Roy's favorite color. Every time I see the color of purple, I am reminded of the love I have for him and all that he teaches me each day. Purple also stands for a sensitive understanding and compassionate love of yourself which needs to happen first before you are able to share that same love and understanding with others.
When you squeeze the heart, it offers a reminder that compassionate love and understanding for yourself conquers fear. Fear of change and fear of failure often holds us back from changing systems that aren't working for us. Squeezing the purple heart helps us to quiet down the voices of our worries so we can notice the new door that is opening for us. As we gain the courage to walk through, we see the possibilities that await us. It is at that moment where love conquers fear! We know that we are not alone because change is coming from a place of love and we can trust that we will meet people along the way that will support us through this time. Together, we can make what seems impossible, possible!
