Today someone asked me in an email a little about myself…I answered, then realized maybe other people would like to read some of that too…So here is an excerpt from that email response…
About age-I think that people just are who they are, that their personality just is a certain age group & they stay pretty much the same no matter what the clock of chronology says…
My mum is a 16 year old…Still have to force her to eat her vegetables…
A girlfriend of mine growing up was so mature early on-she got married & had children & a mortgage & a job, & I was still deciding which ice cream flavour I liked best…
I’m a child…Emotionally very immature…I see myself a bit in Sheldon from the Big bang Theory…very stupid about people but very smart about things…
My Dad was a baby too…Very smart but a baby when it came to relationship wisdom…
My Mum & my brother have great social wisdom, love entertaining, friends…
Joseph comes from military people…Hid grandfather served in WW1, then went to Oxford on a military scholarship, became a doctor, then served in WW2 in Nova Scotia here as a physician…Later opened up a bicycle shop(Grove Cycle & Sport)…
My credentials?
I went to a pile of universities, just enjoying learning things-I was very good at school…
Ended up calling myself an artist because I saw I’d have the most freedom there in that path…
You can do almost anything if you call it art…
I did more traditional art forms for many years, but always had a knack for medicine cause of my Dad…
It was a hobby…
I started developing a theory about how the body worked, which became the thing called the Grove Body Part Chart…
I showed the work to my art business coach in Colorado who encouraged me in that direction-though I was a maverick-an artist in medicine…
My first book got written to explain the chart…Createspace encouraged me to give it away for free online to get authority, an audience, word of mouth credentials…
I did thousands of people read it…
Encouraged & empowered, I wrote 7 more books, all free to read online…
Each book went further…
Book 5 gets into the brain, linking the brain parts to the body parts…
That was my ultimate goal when I was a child-brain research…
I have a new brain part chart(see attached) which links better to the body part chart-for people with concussions & other head trauma or other brain problems…
The art actually formed my skillset to be ready for this…
Art is so intense, so detail oriented, so difficult to succeed in, in causes you to work harder at things than usual…
Most artists are pretty intense about what they do…They have to be to succeed…
Joseph helps me alot…He gets medicine, but his opinions are often opposite to mine…So he provides balance…
I am a yes person, he is a no person…Which is healthy…Balanced opinions…
Which is why he gets credit on all my work…Without him I’d be too kooky…I embrace all sorts of kooky stuff…he says no…
