The two colors RED and YELLOW

I put these two colors on my site here because it is a mix of ME. I couldn't believe it when I read through it and then found myself totally amazed that two totally different colors were describing me.

I'm not a fighter but more of a doer and finish tasks that I'm asked to do. I think quickly and SOMETIMES to quickly so the decision I just made is in BIG trouble or at least I am. I'm impulsive, but who isn't and I am laid back and go with the flow too, but who doesn't.

I guess I'm just a little piece of the rainbow that God created and my two colors fill in the holes that people need at the time in which we meet.

The Color Yellow

The Color Yellow

The color yellow is the color of the mind
and the intellect


The color yellow relates to acquired knowledge. It is the color which resonates with the left or logic side of the brain stimulating our mental faculties and creating mental agility and perception.

Being the lightest hue of the spectrum, the color psychology of yellow is uplifting and illuminating, offering hope, happiness, cheerfulness and fun.

In the meaning of colors, yellow inspires original thought and inquisitiveness.

Yellow is creative from a mental aspect, the color of new ideas, helping us to find new ways of doing things. It is the practical thinker, not the dreamer.

Yellow is the best color to create enthusiasm for life and can awaken greater confidence and optimism.

The color yellow loves a challenge, particularly a mental challenge.

Within the meaning of colors, yellow is the great communicator and loves to talk. Yellow is the color of the networker and the journalist, all working and communicating on a mental level. Yellow is the scientist, constantly analyzing, looking at both sides before making a decision; methodical and decisive. Yellow is the entertainer, the comic, the clown.

Yellow helps with decision making as it relates to clarity of thought and ideas, although it can often be impulsive. Yellow helps us focus, study and recall information, useful during exam time.

The color yellow can be anxiety producing as it is fast moving and can cause us to feel agitated.

Yellow has a tendency to make you more mentally analytical and critical - this includes being self critical as well as critical of others.

Yellow is non-emotional, coming from the head rather than the heart. Yellow depends on itself, preferring to not get emotionally involved.

Yellow is related to the ego and our sense of self worth, to how we feel about ourselves and how we are perceived by others.

Yellow is the most highly visible of all colors which is why it is used for pedestrian crossings. Take note of the crossings which are marked in white - they are less easy to see than those marked yellow, particularly on wet and cloudy days.

If you are going through a lot of change in your life you may find you can't tolerate the color yellow very well - this will usually pass. It just means that you are having trouble coping with all the changes at the moment and yellow vibrates too fast for you, making you feel stressed. Introduce green or a soft orange into your life for a while to balance and restore your energies. Many older people don't respond well to large amounts of yellow because it vibrates too fast for them.

The Color Red

The Meaning of the Color Red is Energy,
Passion and Action

The color red is a warm and positive color associated with our most physical needs and our will to survive. Red exudes a strong and powerful masculine energy.

Red is energizing. It excites the emotions and motivates us to take action.

The color meaning of red signifies a pioneering spirit and leadership qualities, promoting ambition and determination.

The color meaning of red indicates a strong-willed drive and persistence. It can give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power.

Being the color of physical movement, the color red awakens our physical life force. It is the color of sexuality and can stimulate deeper and more intimate passions in us, such as love and sex on the positive side or revenge and anger on the negative. It is often used to express love, as in Valentine's Day, however it relates more to the passions of sexuality and lust, rather than love - love is expressed more fully with pink.

At its most positive red can create life with its sexual energy, or use its negative expression of anger and aggression to fuel war and destruction.

Red can stimulate the appetite, often being used in restaurants for this purpose. It also increases craving for food and other stimuli.

Being surrounded by too much red can cause us to become irritated, agitated and ultimately angry. Too little and we become cautious, manipulative and fearful.

In Eastern cultures such as China red is the color for good luck. Although times are changing and many Chinese brides now wear white, it is traditionally the color for weddings. In Indian culture it symbolizes purity and is often used in their wedding gowns.


Positive and Negative Traits of the Color Red

Effects of The Color Red:

Stimulating: red excites the physical senses - the sexual and physical appetite. It stimulates the deeper passions within us, such as sex, love, courage, hatred or revenge. If you have a flagging sex life and would like to introduce more passion into it, introduce some red into the bedroom - the more red, the more passion, but don't overdo it or it will have the opposite effect.

Exciting and Motivating: red stimulates and excites our emotions and inspires us to take action.

Attention-getting: red demands you to take notice, alerting you to danger. This is why we have red traffic lights and stop signs - it is the universal color for danger.

OCBC

I had the most extraordinary weekend ever. I left last Wednesday afternoon to drive with Wade to CA for the OCBC Singles Conference 2011. It was fantastic. Not only did I do that but I was able to see Sima and Katie, my neighbors and long lost friends when we were younger!!

Below are just a few pictures. I have TONS more. Not only did I LOVE the conference and my time with them but Disneyland and California Adventure was magical as always. Club33 was fantastic and an experience I'll never forget.

I'd totally do this trip all over again in a heartbeat. The LA Temple was fantastic, my family names were completed, the conference workshops were ideal and the dances were totally amazing. The after party rocked the beach house in Laguna Beach and the beaches themselves were beautiful, but cold.

The Savior is real and made this all possible for me to enjoy and I love him for that. Now, I just need to find a mate or remind myself that single life is totally for me as long as I get to cuddle, thanks Elliot!





BEST DIVORCE LETTER

Dear Wife,
I’m writing you this letter to tell you that I’m leaving you forever. I’ve been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it. These last 2 weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today & that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didn’t even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don’t tell me you love me anymore; you don’t want sex or anything that connects us as husband & wife. Either you’re cheating on me or you don’t love me anymore; whatever the case, I’m gone. Your EX-Husband P.S. don’t try to find me. Your SISTER & I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!

Dear Ex-Husband,
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It’s true you & I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from what you’ve been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining & griping Too bad that doesn’t work. I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was ‘You look just like a girl!’ Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can’t say something nice, I didn’t comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago. About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, & I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning. After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica But when I got home you were gone.. Everything happens for a reason, I guess. I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won’t get a dime from me. So take care. Signed, Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell & Free! P.S. I don’t know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl. I hope that’s not a problem.
