Photo of the Day - Sushi Thumb Drive
This sushi thumb drive was a gift from our distributors in Japan which was given to me during a meeting in Reno, Nevada in May 2008. It is always a conversation starter when I have it plugged into the side of my laptop.
Harmony-Seeking Idealist (HI)
Saw this personality profile on Patty's page where I learned that she is a Groundbreaking Thinker and decided to see what I am. Turns out I'm a Harmony-seeking Idealist (HI).
Harmony-seeking Idealists are characterised by a complex personality and an abundance of thoughts and feelings. They are warm-hearted persons by nature. They are sympathetic and understanding. Harmony-seeking Idealists expect a lot of themselves and of others. They have a strong understanding of human nature and are often very good judges of character. But they are mostly reserved and confide their thoughts and feelings to very few people they trust. They are deeply hurt by rejection or criticism. Harmony-seeking Idealists find conflict situations unpleasant and prefer harmonious relationships. However, if reaching a certain target is very important to them they can assert themselves with a doggedness bordering on obstinacy.
Harmony-seeking Idealists have a lively fantasy, often an almost clairvoyant intuition and are often very creative. Once they have tackled a project, they do everything in their power to achieve their goals. In everyday life, they often prove to be excellent problem solvers. They like to get to the root of things and have a natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge. At the same time, they are practically oriented, well organised and in a position to tackle complex situations in a structured and carefully considered manner. When they concentrate on something, they do so one hundred percent - they often become so immersed in a task that they forget everything else around them. That is the secret of their often very large professional success.
As partners, harmony-seeking idealists are loyal and reliable; a permanent relationship is very important to them. They seldom fall in love head over heels nor do they like quick affairs. They sometimes find it very difficult to clearly show their affection although their feelings are deep and sincere. In as far as their circle of friends is concerned, their motto is: less is more! As far as new contacts are concerned, they are approachable to only a limited extent; they prefer to put their energy into just a few, close friendships. Their demands on friends and partners are very high. As they do not like conflicts, they hesitate for some time before raising unsatisfactory issues and, when they do, they make every effort not to hurt anyone as a result.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Jewells in Seattle has a new look! I decided it was time to get rid of the green layout that I have used for, well, far to long, and go with something a bit more simple. I hope you like it! I'm still playing around with it so you may notices some additional subitle changes in the next week or so.
And, I have decided to add a new feature, Photo of the Day. I love taking pictures but often find myself wishing that I took more of them. I love to share the pictures that I take and figured that by having a regularly appearing post it would make me take more pictures so that I had plenty to share.
Let me know what you think of the new design and the photos, I always love hearing for you.

Photo of the Day - Buttermilk Sky
Buttermilk Sky, originally uploaded by JewellsinSEA.
My grandfather would have called this a buttermilk sky, as soon as I looked up at it, I thought of him. This was taken on the Seattle waterfront in May.
