As I write this dedication, tomorrow happens to be my granddaughter Mias second birthday. Her birth and early-life experiences stacked the deck against her for survival. Multiple brain-bleeds and other complications of a premature birthing which not that long ago would have been the sentence for a very short or very limited life. Every day, I thank God for the medical technology that gave her a fighting chance to survive. And today, she is a thriving, feisty, top-of-all-performance-scales, 2-year-old that leaves no corner unexplored, no book unopened (as long as it has colorful graphics), and who does not accept no for an answer! Mia models living life with a brain that will not stop for any boundaries, wanting to learn everything, processing information, continually building new neural circuits into an ever-expanding network of brain fibers whose results are visible every day as a happy, playful, engaging child continuously modeling the joy of life.

Whenever we go on a road journey, its helpful to have a map (or program GPS) that gives you the options of the quickest route, or the most scenic route, or where there may be construction ahead that will slow you down (with alternative routes).

This book is dedicated to my granddaughter and to you, the Reader, that your brain can lead you forward instead of holding you back and you once again can experience your own joy of life.
