Healthy and Simple

I mean really challenged yourself – physically.  I remember when I was a kid we moved into a new house and we were so delighted to have our very own house. It was brand new and it had so much room.  My whole family was delirious with joy to have this wonderful house.  But the [...]

Most people think of them as the left brain and the right brain. The left brain is the logical one, the one that deals with linear thinking, like solving math problems or planning a road trip.

“Why didn’t you order a Guinness?” everyone asks.
