@aissa2 Carolyn, I am left-handed, also, but right eye dominant. How's that for being mixed up!? There are several things I do right-handed, because when being taught, the teacher was right-handed. Simply telling me, "just do it backwards" never did compute in my mind. Mimic, yes, reverse it when you don't have the concept? Nevermind. Some things I can do both right- or left-handed. A positive is writing while running a calculator.
We southpaws are a special breed, and see the world differently. I need to dig out my Progoff workshop binder and take a look at it again. When I did the non-dominant hand exercise, it was a question/answer page, talking to my father about my struggles at home as a child. It was quite an insight.

I met in my lifetime several of us Southpaws from earlier eras who were strongly encouraged, for lack of stronger words to not use their left hand for writing. I am thankful that I did not come along during that time. I am the only one in my family who is a southpaw. I am an overwriter. I know that because I only write exclusively with fountain pens and have researched the different ways we write as southpaws with fountain pens. I can not remember if ever I tried to write or do anything with my non-dominant hand on purpose, I may have to see how that feels.
