It was December 21, 2004 when I got into my car at my office in Kingston, Massachusetts in the morning and drove north followed by a moving van with furniture and two adjusting tables to take over a small practice in Livermore Falls, Maine.

The Truth of the Matter Pt IV– The Neurodynamics of Change
The Neurodynamics of Change While the sky may not be falling, the world most certainly is shifting. The North Pole is now hundreds of miles away from the area I was taught in school.
