When the dentist drills down–and finds something else!

There are certain career choices that are known to be highly stressful for the professional. Two such careers are that of dentists and psychiatrists. We can each envision why. However, I was mistaken about why one particular dentist chose to leave the profession and now wants to speak to her former colleagues about they deep

Why Leonardo Da Vinci matters

Did you know that his life spanned from 1452 – 1519? Did you know that his full legal name is Leonardo Di Ser Piero Da Vinci? I find it impressive and gorgeous to write out and then to pronounce–add a flare of Italian accent to it and I promise that you will feel a surge

Where we chose to be

I love how easy it is to be any place on the planet within about a day or two…..you just decide where it is you want to be and don’t allow any barriers. You can go, there are an endless number of ways to make it happen. I am happy to know this as a

The value of the head
