With his utterly deadpan comedy style, Jerry Seinfeld called out the ridiculousness of a recurring fact regarding public speaking: Americans are more afraid of death than they are of public speaking. While public speaking is stressful, especially for first-timers, a little bit of preparation and practice can go a long way to alleviate stress and […]
Chaco National Historic Park is a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site located in northwestern New Mexico. I visited New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, in February of 2011 and I did indeed find the whole state to be truly spellbinding.
