IT TAKES A VILLAGE!

Every journey begins with the first step.


Every road trip begins with the first mile.



Getting everyone to be fully cognizant of the vicissitudes of the directionally challenged will take some doing, but I have already taken the first steps.

My book, Center Brained: Why you can't tell left from right, east from west or north from south gives a first-hand account of what it means to be directionally challenged. Not only that; it also gives some very plausible explanations about why some people are directionally challenged. It also supplies some practical strategies for mitigating the effects of directional challenge, as well as possible solutions for the problematic situation in which many directionally challenged individuals find themselves.

I need to hear from you who also have difficulties navigating from one point to another, as well as you who never dreamed that such a situation exits, and, also from everyone else in between.

Download a copy of the ebook, or order a paper copy, on Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3XT7HPT, have a read, and then let me know your thoughts.

The Trials of the Directionally Challenged!

                                                                                                    ARE YOU DIRECTIONALLY CHALLENGED? Don't know what that means , you say? Well, let me explain. Do you find yourself utterly perplexed whenever someone points out something as being to your right or your left? When you visit a large building, after your business is completed, do you have to get help to find the exit? Even more unsettling, have you ever lost your way to and/or from a place that you’ve visited several times before? If you can answer in the affirmative to any of those questions, chances  are, your are directionally challenged to some degree. It may be that deciphering left from right is your Achilles’ heel, b...

What Am I Gonna Do About It?

 The question should really be: What have I done about it? You see, for years and years, I contemplated my inability to decipher left from right, my propensity to get lost at every turn; my absolute ineptness as I tried to move from one point to another, either on foot or while driving; and I purposed that one day, I would write about what it felt like, to be a supposedly intelligent person who is clueless about orientation (knowing where I am, in relation to where I need to go) and navigation , being able to - with autonomy, certainty and accuracy - move from one location to another.) It really helped that I have encountered many persons who are just like me. And the fact that our stories are so similar convinced me that we are clueless about directions, not because we're inately stupid; not because we do not pay attention to details; not necessarily because we have an attention deficit, but simply because of who and how we are. So I wrote this book: Center Brained: Why you can...

 The Half  Has Never Yet   Been Told I tried looking up "Center Brained" on the internet and got some interesting results.  This is what Google says:  Most search engines do not mention the concept  at all. I hope that that will change soon. I also hope that some brave neuroscientists will hastily take up the challenge to settle the debate about side dominance of the brain. I think I have a very good idea what the research will find, and I hope those who would swear that there is no such reality as side dominance will not only accept that one or the other (left or right) side of the brain can be dominant in an individual, but that endless posibilities exist that dominance can occur in the center as well!  I believe in side dominance of the brain because, from my years of observation and study, I know that when someone who experiences a stroke sustains damage to the right hemisphere of their brain, it's their left side that becomes non-functional. If th...
