Gold represents so many things for me. Shining. The Sun. Being the best/Olympic. Something valuable. Happiness.
I picked up the phrase (“you’re golden”) while studying abroad in Brisbane. It is such a strong phrase of support and something that resonates bright and happy feelings for me. I’ve always had a connection with things golden (à la my middle name) so it was a natural catchphrase for me. I chose it as my web address to remind myself and hopefully others of all things positive and sparkling within ourselves and in our lives. Shine on.
