Thank you for your kind comments. I loved the worship service that followed my presentation. The music was glorious. And attendees of my presentation got a double dose of input on change! I was very pleased with the similarity in my message and the sermon’s main points – forgiveness, patience and being open.
Answer to your question: I am not a researcher, but I can agree that my left-handedness was probably a factor in my accommodation to switching dominance. I was the only child of 7 to be left handed – and at the time, schools made very few – actually no accommodation to allow for left-handedness, nor is the rest of the world arranged for easy accommodation for left handedness. In my opinion, the statistics for lefties being more accident prone, have as much to do with the fact that most appliances and machines are made for right hand use – therefore demanding accommodation and adaptation in their use by lefties. I always used right handed scissors. I undoubtedly did have a certainly facility with my right hand. As far as the female/male portion of your question, I defer to your knowledge and research. I can assure you that writing and eating were very challenging for me. I still think I do not handle my fork in a very comfortable way, and my italian friends tell me I twirl my spaghetti in a left-handed direction. Thank you for this interesting question! And thank you for coming today.

I am scheduled to attend your event at Brooke Army Medical Center on Thursday. I am very excited and looking forward to hearing you speak.

Respectfully,
Lucy Macias
