The concept of Blue Knight was conceived in 1998 when I was 18 years old, fresh faced, full of dreams and high hopes for the future.
The original concept for this was a passion project filled with giving, helping, loving, fun, smiles and community.
20 years later I have had to accept that my Passion Project, Dream and Goal is just not one that is not achievable in my life time, not for me.
I have decided instead to write about what the project would have been, could have been and hopefully inspire someone to take steps I am not able to.
I'll always hold thumbs and pray that one day I am able to hear of my Concept being the success I know it will be.
Beginnings:
As a young girl growing up in a household of girly girls and always being the rebel I always gravitated to any colour other than pink. I was obsessed with blue. All shades of blue.
I loved what Blue could stand for being sad. I love that the ocean was blue. The sky was blue. I knew that blue was a calming colour before I knew how to read.
Thus Blue was the obvious choice for me to put in my passion project.
The second part 'Knight' came about later by total fluke.
I loved that fact that the Knight is a chess piece... I chess piece that I am still useless using yet is ALWAYS left on the board when I play. That sneaky little bugger ALWAYS manages to escape capture - I digress.
I loved that 'knight' is pronounced night and that it will mean i have to say 'k' out loud - 'k-night' when I speak to people. It's a simple thing but it makes me smile and I want to make people smile this is what all this is for.
Was for.
Knight also refers to old English tales, castles and swords. A knight is a noble hero, someone that helps and has honour. Why not knight.
So over 3 years of mulling it over, it always remained Blue Knights.
So in October 1998 while selling jigsaw puzzles Blue Knights was born in my brain and spread like wildfire through my entire being and was forever imprinted in my life.
It is remarkable how significant that Month ended up being later in my life and still continues to be.
20 Years ago I created a concept and attached a name to that concept
20 Year later I give away my concept in the hope that someone else understands my vision
More to follow soon
