This is Your Brain on Noise

Forgive my language. When I first read Dr. J.J. Eggermont’s book Noise and the Brain, my first thought was, “Oh, shit.” Because noise is far worse for our hearing and brain health than I was ever taught as an audiologist. Especially for developing hearing systems in children and teens. My more professional book review, This […]

John Howard Griffin
“Humanity does not differ in any profound way; there are not essentially different species of human beings. If we could only put ourselves in the shoes of others to see how we would react, then we might become aware of the injustice of discrimination and the tragic inhumanity of every kind of prejudice.”
John Howard Griffin, Black Like Me

C.  (Never PM.  Comment, or e-mail if private!) Hi Jan, I made "Gentle Spectrums" group changes. It always was for pets, books, nature, gardening, music and anything important; including helpful social commentary. It is minus reading challenges in 2020, for personal news that I explain there. I hope we renew participation. Your friend, Carolyn.

C.  (Never PM.  Comment, or e-mail if private!) HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Jan!
E-books and PDFs take longer to read because I can't curl up with them. I have a desk and desktop PC in an office. Please know I have not forgotten your collection of stories and that I look forward to them.

May we all be blessed, happy, and at peace. May we all be in long-lived good health and may the prayers we have, be answered! Your friend, Carolyn.

C.  (Never PM.  Comment, or e-mail if private!) I am very happy to get to know you, Jan! I'm on rural dial-up in Manitoba so the messaging mailboxes and recommend button are off limits. Easy to name titles in this main website body and for private discourse, my e-mail need only be asked. Spirituality not governed by religion is my kind of faith! :) Warmly, Carolyn.
