You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t been posting much more than recipes lately. Or maybe you haven’t noticed. Either way, I’ve been boring myself with my lack of posts lately. But each time I sit down to write something new, I just can’t come up with the right topic, or the right words. It’s more …

“A man with a conviction is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point.” – Leon Festinger, psychologist I’ve always been fascinated by the brain and how it works, both physically (neurons …

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
Thank you so much to everyone who filled out the survey! I really appreciate all of your great feedback and the many kind words. (I’ll leave the survey open a little bit longer if there are still others who’d like to give their opinion. I really hope you will!) There was one thing in the …
