If You Really Knew Me You’d Know:

I have a pretty perilous past.

• Starting with the time I wrestled a huge tom cat into a public dryer. He lived.

• Then there was that time I ingested a bottle of aspirin with a boric acid chaser.
• Chewing provides proprioceptive input to the jaw that is very calming to toddlers.
• I was fine, my Mom, not so much.

• Have you ever cooked a hot dog weenie on a big industrial light-bulb?
• It’s a curious kid’s Easy-Bake Oven.
• It worked, until the light bulb exploded — kids, don’t try this at home.

• Then there was the day that I decided to light a firecracker.
• In my bedroom. My plan was to snuff it out with a wet washcloth.
• But then, I couldn’t. So I held on tight. And closed my eyes.
• I was smart to close my eyes.

• Not too smart when I walked 3 miles across busy highways to escape a neglectfully mean babysitter. Ignore me? I think not.

• I smoked a cigarette. Not proud.
• But I did wash my tongue with a wet wash-cloth between puffs.
• The washcloth came in handy this time.

• It was a little awkward when I ate the paper wrapper on my very first cupcake.
• I’m sure it had something to do with magical power of rainbow sprinkles.


• Have you ever had that urge, to stick a bobby pin — in a light socket?
• No? I just HAD to see what would happen.
• Pain & diarrhea is what happened.

• I Explored All Of These Curiosities
• Before My 6th Birthday.

• I’ve always been curious.
• Curiosity rocks, of course until it doesn’t, just ask the cat.

• But when it’s all said and done,
• I think curiosity is the secret to staying healthy — if you live past your 6th birthday

• Curiosity drives us to participate more fully in life.
• It’s a prime mover and motivator. It’s a simple desire to know.

• It’s the major driving force behind scientific research and other disciplines of human study.

• I believe that the more curious you are about your health, well, the more likely you are to reclaim your health or better yet, stay healthy.

• Read, ask questions, experiment, challenge the status quo, learn new stuff.

• This blog is a celebration of and an adventure in curiosity.

• I wonder what would happen if…? What causes that?

• I hope to never lose my curiosity.

• And I look forward to exploring health & wellness concepts out loud,
• right here, from time to time.
