Change your body language and change your life!
We laugh, chat, sit, walk, and cross our legs, without realizing the information we are giving away about ourselves through these small gestures to our observers.

Undeniable loneliness
As a child, I would often run very high fevers, especially when we went to the movies. It was absolute coincidence, yet my Dad started to fear taking me to the theatre at all. I don’t remember the pain I was in, but I do remember how my Dad and grandmother cared for me. The […]
