She thinks she must be crazy because every letter, number, and sound has a color. Of course we already know she isn't crazy - she's cool like Julie!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing that, Julie. Synesthesia is one of those brain things that are so incredibly fascinating.Molly MacRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15386437825634793316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-47117748699544666342008-03-15T09:22:00.000-05:002008-03-15T09:22:00.000-05:00What a fascinating concept, Julie.

It's nice to know that others have it, too, and that there's a term for it - synesthesia. It even sounds pretty. Thank you so much for sharing this!Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-81131620141416790872008-03-14T18:48:00.000-05:002008-03-14T18:48:00.000-05:00Julie,Wow, that's pretty interesting!

It reminds me of something I read in my early twenties, from a famous NY chef who said that food must not only taste good, but look good, because sight (the appearance of bright colors such as green broccoli) enhanced the smell and taste of food...a mingling of the senses, so to speak. <BR/>May explain why your food descriptions are so vivid!<BR/>Has anyone ever done a study to see if the greatest chefs have this ability?Picks by Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210946161490466694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-21594123068147716182008-03-14T17:47:00.000-05:002008-03-14T17:47:00.000-05:00Julie - Thanks for your colorful blog today.

I do believe colors help heal, and have a couple of books on the different healing properites of varying colors.<BR/><BR/>I worked as a psychotherapist for a few years, and used color to help folks learn how to identify the reaction certain feelings had on their body and where they felt the color. Powerful stuff, colors!Sylvia Dickey Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665990701980727149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-10841632831361788292008-03-14T07:13:00.000-05:002008-03-14T07:13:00.000-05:00This is pretty interesting stuff.

Not sure I can explain how I came to that conclusion, but maybe it makes sense to you.<BR/><BR/>There is a book out there, fiction, that the main character is this...can't spell that word...and I wish I could remember the title, but I thought it kinda neat then, but now, knowing you, it is way cool.<BR/><BR/>See, this is what I learned today!<BR/><BR/>Karen Syed<BR/>www.echelonpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
