Life Lessons – Looking back and looking forward
There’s a lot of discussions these days about the psychological after-effects of Covid. Hopefully, at some point we will all reach this looking-back stage of life.
Inherited feelings
I recently attended a congress about war grandchildren in Germany. This term is used for children of war children, roughly the generation born between 1960 and 1975.

They did not lack food, a warm bed, health care, or education. But they did lack emotional bonding.
Bringing Back Passion Into Your Intimate Relationship
The age-old argument is that once passion is gone from a relationship, it can not be regained. It suggests that once people have disconnected from a relationship, they are no longer vested in it, physically or mentally. They just go with the flow, break up, separate, or divorce. But how do you bring back the passion if you decide to remain in the relationship?

But gradually, over twenty years of dying with a commercial hair dye containing ammonia, and then not with ammonia, and basically just living through the stresses of balancing a career and family, my hair became thin and brittle.
The Effects of Blood Sugar Levels during Menopause
