If any of you know the Conway side of the family, you will know we often speak "Color Codian"--which is a language that can help you in any social endeavor or any other kind of endeavor. I only wish they had a code for babies and animals!
My mission is to help others become fluent in this language. ...So you will know what we mean when we say something like, "Oh, he's soooo yellow."
Here are the colors: Blue, Yellow, Red, White.
Here are the motivations: Blue-Intimacy, Yellow-Fun, Red-Power, White-Peace.
Justin is a blue and I'm a blue/yellow. It makes for very interesting dynamics, believe it or not, since Justin brings out my yellow (read: makes me skittish). But I think in the end when you love someone and treat them with respect you bring out the best in people regardless of their personality characteristics.
Here's more info. below. Let us know if you want to borrow our copy of the book!
