When we arrived on Amber and Nick’s sprawling property, just twenty minutes outside Grand Rapids, the sun began to set, painting the sky in soft golds and purples. The land stretched wide, with smooth, dewy grass underfoot and mossy forest trails that felt like stepping into a dream.
Amber danced barefoot across the wet grass, laughed under the vast sky, and climbed trees with the effortless grace of a forest nymph. Elevated off the ground and swaying among the branches, she became part of the landscape—a vivid burst of pink against the deep greens, a living embodiment of joy, play, and aliveness.
Amber is a natural creator — an artist, a mother, a woman who shifts shape as easily as the light at sunset. With her daughter Millie at her side, helping her dump dye and giggle through the creative process, Amber reveals an extraordinary power: the ability to make space for wonder, pause, and play, and become someone new in every moment.
Unsurprisingly, Amber chose Dragon Fruit for her Power Portrait, a color that reflects not only her style but also her spirit.
Dragon Fruit is wild softness. It’s unexpected sweetness with a punk-rock heart. If you resonate with this color, you may be someone who breaks stereotypes just by existing — someone who is tender and bold at once.
Symbolically, Dragon Fruit represents unconventional beauty, creativity, and resilience. It’s the color of living out loud while nurturing the quiet places within. It belongs to the dreamers who dare to be real, the rebels who lead with their hearts.
Psychologically, Dragon Fruit calls to those embracing sensitivity and rebellion. You may be peeling back layers of performative identity and discovering your raw, messy brilliance underneath. This color encourages you to wear your heart like a badge and your softness like armor.
Energetically, Dragon Fruit bridges the sacral and crown chakras — the dance between emotion and imagination, grounding and dreaming. It pulses with the frequency of playfulness, overlaid with quiet purpose.
Somatically, Dragon Fruit creates a sense of warmth across the chest and alertness behind the eyes. It energizes through beauty, novelty, and joy. Wearing it may make you feel like yourself in full bloom.
If this is your color, you may be redefining strength, reclaiming joy, or letting love be weird and wonderful. This color whispers: ✨ You are allowed to be both fierce and soft. ✨
