Oooooookay....

So, Ms.S has agreed that my "How to heal with color" book is bogus. Now she wants me to steer in the direction of color psychology....

I've learned that there is such a thing as a fear of purple....

Anyways, I'm still lost with my proposal..... I did not understand a word Ms.S said really.
