Who Gets the Best of You?
When was the last time your child or your spouse had your full attention? Not your body in the room while your mind rehashes work issues. Not your eyes occasionally looking up from a screen to make sure that scream didn't equate to blood on the floor. I mean your actual, complete, undivided presence. The kind where nothing else exists in that moment other than the person right in front of you? Did that make you feel something reading that? If it did keep reading, this is goin

When the Lights Turn On
One of my favourite things in the world is watching people's eyes light up when I adjust their position, make a correction, or fine tune a movement.

Beyond the 5 Senses- Human Abilities You Were Never Told You Have.
My entire life I've been fascinated by the powers and capabilities of the human mind, human awareness. To be honest, it baffles me why every human isn't as interested in what has to be, one of the, if not THE most important aspect of being a human. As a young boy in grade school, I vividly remember the many times where I sat inside of a classroom, surrounded by children of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. Countless pictures on the walls, window giving me a glimpse beyond, p
