It’s a test and I’m not even sure if it works….but if it does, I’ll share bonus goodies with you here moving forward.
For now I will share with you something fun that I have never posted.
Imagine you are in a darkish room and there’s a strobe light and the floor looks like THIS!
The floor itself is normal, but the carpet has lines on it that tell a different story!
What would you think?
Would you feel nervous, sick, frightened?
Would you freeze and stay put, hug the walls for comfort, or slowly proceed by tapping your toe ahead of you to test out the surface as you go?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, you can comment below.
Thank you for supporting this program! (I feel as grateful as the bloke holding his bumbershoot.)

It’s intriguing to think that emotions, like fear, could be epigenetically started in one generation and carried and expressed in offspring. That’s what a recent study in lab mice revealed.
