The Why Behind My Words
My Husband tells me I think in words. Now you’re wondering, doesn’t everyone? No, I don’t believe that is true. Some of us do think in words; we find sense and structure in our world via letters, words, sentences, and paragraphs. Others may think in pictures and see the world laid out in visual…
