I'm a free-lancer, entrepreneur, call me as you wish, but one thing I precisely am is an e-shopper. Dissapointed at eBay's way of doing business, got out of there in a blink of an eye. I'm a risk taker, always been one, fearless to change. Moved out my listing and searched for a while. And if you search and search you will always find what you are looking for...Silkfair.com...new marketplace, still not as popular as eBay, but believe this person, with such features it will become one, in a blink of an eye!

For some reason it reminded me of this quote from Hugh MacLeod @ gapingvoid: Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten....Being suddenly hit years later with the creative bug is just a wee voice telling you, "I'd like my crayons back, please." I think becoming a dad has pushed me personally from seeing the lack of inhibition and fear of experimentation in my son. If he's willing to try and climb the jungle gym at 1yrs old because the older kids are then why shouldn't I! :-) Great post.
