Your first name of Yelanda gives you a poised, gracious, and reserved nature. You would like to be easy-going and spontaneous but it does not come easily. Because of your strong concentrative abilities, you can shut noises and activities out so completely that you may not even hear someone calling your name. Your reticence has caused you to suffer aloneness and misunderstandings. If you sense that someone is being inquisitive about you and your life, you are adept at steering the conversation to other topics, or not answering questions directly. You enjoy music, particularly of those instruments that remind you of the sounds of nature. As you do not like to be taken for granted, you can be somewhat stubborn and unbending when you feel misunderstood. You are inclined to be secretive, sometimes suspicious of others, and you seldom reveal your innermost thoughts until you are comfortable and trusting of someone. You love to read and can develop great powers of concentration. The mysteries of life appeal to you in your search for an understanding of the greater picture of life.
