If Only I Had a Brain, Part 2

Like the Scarecrow, when we have an inner intention or desire and someone comes along like Dorothy that highlights or mirrors that desire or want, it is called synchronicity. Synchronicities can be viewed as miracles.  We cannot logically explain how or why miracles occur but we can say that they happen because of divine intervention, destiny, because we really pay attention, or our desire for help or change is so strong that we attract them. Life brings us extraordinary experiences and gifts that defy our ability to fully understand how or why it all works. One of these gifts is our brain. 

Your brain has 100 billion nerve cells (the same number of stars in our galaxy), 1,000 trillion connections, and 400 miles of blood vessels. Laughter requires the activity of 5 different areas of the brain. And despite what you have read, you use all of our brain not just 10%. Every new thought & new idea results in new brain connections and increased connectivity between neurons. No wonder the Scarecrow wanted a brain!
