The Healing Power of Curiosity “The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity.” – Edmund Burke Hello! I hope that this letter finds you well. I had a random thought this week. I proceeded to write this thought in my “Rachel’s Thoughts” book. I was thinking about the importance of curiosity.
