Most of the time these days we are on sensory overload. The sights, sounds, new tastes (however made up the flavors sound) and smells can overwhelm our senses. Consider one of them for a moment: the sense of smell. Smells can be a powerful leader sense that can tell a cautionary tale, stir up other senses (smell a lemon and your mouth will water), or transport us to another time and place (the smell of paste). Below is a list of items (feel free to add to the list in a comment) that could have powerful memories, or create some other sensory response. What do you think?
- Box of Crayons
- Pencils
- Markers
- Books
- Fraternity house
- Tequila
- Roses (what color do you picture when you think of the aroma?)
- A church building
- A school
- A locker room
- Grandmother
- Grandfather
- A bathroom
- A puppy
- A baby
Look forward to hearing from you.
