New moons in Gemini typically coincide with the emergence of important conversations or experiencing a change of perspective. Your…
It’s an age-old story: Young girl is a voracious reader. But, as she grows older, the demands of life command her attention and prevent her from keeping her nose in a book as much as she would like. Hello, it’s me, I’m the girl. Despite my longtime love of reading, I haven’t come close to hitting my annual New Year’s goal of reading 52 books in 52 weeks since I was old enough to start making New Year’s goals. Heck, in recent years, I’ve been lucky to hit 10 books per year. But this year, I wanted to get serious…

The award-winning journalist and author had an up-close-and-personal experience with Alzheimer’s when her dad was diagnosed with the disease in 2003. Since then, she’s dedicated a major part of her life to understanding the condition—and she soon realized there was a major lack of research into Alzheimer’s in women. “So I founded the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement” at Cleveland Clinic, Shriver says. “[I] rewrote the narrative around Alzheimer’s to put women front and center. It turns out that in fact, two-thirds…

It’s a great tool to have in your toolbox.” Because…
