There's something about Mary: The Otago woman who lives life in shades of pink

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

“Nobody looks at pink and cries.”

This is 68-year-old Mary Keith’s simple explanation for her extraordinary lifestyle.

“What is wrong with all these people wearing black?” she says. “You see black at funerals and people are crying. It is not a happy colour. But pink is.”

“Nobody looks at pink and cries.”

This is 68-year-old Mary Keith’s simple explanation for her extraordinary lifestyle.

“What is wrong with all these people wearing black?” she says. “You see black at funerals and people are crying. It is not a happy colour. But pink is.”

Today, she is known as Otago’s pink lady, so much so that an automobile paint company even named a paint colour after her a few years ago – a glittery pink called Mad Mary’s Pink.

But Keith says she is certainly not mad, just happy to make people smile. “If you can leave here and think I have lived my best life and put smiles on faces, then what else matters? Nothing." Read more here.

And for the past two years, the display has been in Woodstock Road, Upper Shotover. You can’t miss it – even passengers flying into Queenstown Airport after dark can see this one.

😍 We love our business & founding partner company for it's authenticity, openness & willingness to push into uncomfortable territory so we can all grow into better versions of ourselves.

💟 Recently appointed Corporate Branding & Communications person Kirsty Goldsworthy shares with us the heartfelt breakthroughs flowing up to Rach, Shane & Greg from Influence Live 2021 attendees. We feel very privileged & grateful to hear the growth & wins our community are experiencing.

🆙 We share this with you (with Ebony's consent of course) so you can get a feel for what our Personal Development Live Events are capable of awakening. Often Business Associates notice their businesses start popping at a new level from the raise in vibration often experienced - www.DreamBigNewZealand.co.nz... 🌈

From Kirsty Goldsworthy ~ Prosperity Of Life Branding & Corporate Communications:
🎉 Influence Live 2021 is a WRAP! I can't wait to share with you a huge list of thank you notes that have been sent up but this one is at the top of my emails! It's from Ebony in NSW who was an Influence "first timer"...

"Well my first ever Influence Live Virtual Event has come to an end and boy it did not disappoint.
From the get go it was high energy, engaging and fun (the best environment to learn) I had moments where I couldn’t stop laughing and my cheeks were still hurting the next day from smiling.

The content that Shane delivered was next level and the shares and gratitude from the whole community was truly inspiring.

I have had some really amazing personal breakthroughs. Many times the light bulb was switched on and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to not only understand myself better but also those around me, from my little kids to my husband and just anyone really that I will have the pleasure of connecting with in the future.

I’m excited to keep implementing what I have learned into the future.

Much love, gratitude and thanks."

Thank you Ebony!
We've had a great time facilitating this Virtual Event & can't wait to see your continued progress over the coming months...
