Yellow tulip
We are all told, “live your life to the fullest”; I am here to do just that. Yellow tulip serves as a vessel to project my passions, and clue in my loyal readers as to what inspires me in this crazy world. So, sit back, relax, and read on.
About The Blog
What is it that fuels each and every one of us in this world? For me, it is my family, my dog Yuki (you will see her a lot here - she is very special creature) and of course my favorite flowers- yellow tulips. Since I got started as a blogger back in 2006- when my son was born , I have found such a sense of fulfillment in my own life. I enjoy writing about my passions, what interests me, what interests other people, and sharing it with the world. Life is very challenging... As a mother of a teenager I trying to figure out way to communicate with him, to steal some hugs and kisses - what is not easy... hope we can share here moments important for us and our families.
You have power over your mind - not outside world. Realize this, and you will find strength
