Yellow is the color of energy, clarity and enlightenment. I hope that by reading a post here, you get splashed with some of these in the form of life lessons and fascinating discoveries. But here's a confession - I am not necessarily talented in the things I pursue but I do them anyway because based on my own rules, my own standards, my own definition of enjoyment, and my own criteria of what’s worth my time, they matter. Life is never too short if we live it well. :)

P.S. My posts could be pretty erratic since blogging is the first activity I drop when I don't have any free time and so if the site hasn't been updated for a while, it means that I am doing something else more important or catching up on sleep which is also important. :)
