Harsh white lights at night are just so ugly. How did we let this happen? I don't care what anyone says we must go back. Any energy savings are negligible. All it takes is one war to undo a generation of "savings". Bring back warm, tasteful incandescents NOW. For Aesthetics. For Health. For Vitality.
Most nootropic supplements could be mogged by choline, a super nutrient found in yolks. Choline can clear brain fog by:
- creating acetylcholine for focus and memory
- nourish neuronal cell membranes for efficient signalling
- foundational to methylation to clear neurotoxins
- key player in the liver to reduce ammonia and endotoxin load that slows down cognition.
Yolk it up! Eat your hydration.
November is for gelatinous soups, beeswax candles, Frank Sinatra vinyls, hot cacao, conversations over oysters, cozy natural fibre sweaters, falling in love and steamy magnesium baths.
Beyond grateful & proud, realizing the mom-version of me is more optimized, than the pre-baby version of me, in every single aspect of my life. Having kids is THE biohack.
You need to eliminate anxiety from your life. Take everything in your stride. What's the worst that could happen? Be excited for the future you're creating. You're in your prime. A world far more glorious than you can fathom is around the corner. The best is yet to come.
I think the best thing a parent can do for their child is to be genuinely happy and pleasant to be around. Parents unconsciously pass their outlook on life onto their children. If you're bitter about everything in your life, you're teaching your child that the world is a miserable place.
My dad was in a car accident almost a year ago.
He spent three weeks in a coma. During that time, the only things he could hear, if he heard anything at all, were my little brother whispering, “Fight, Dad,” and the Braveheart score playing softly from my phone.
My mom never left his side. Not once. She slept upright in a hospital chair, holding his hand. She didn’t go home. She didn’t take a “Starbucks break.” She stayed with my dad.
People say women marry for protection, for resources, for provision.
But what happens when the man can no longer provide? When he can’t speak, can’t walk, can’t open his eyes?
That’s when you see what a marriage is.
My brothers and my husband lifted his body when he couldn’t lift himself. I figured out how to pay his credit card so his credit wouldn’t be dinged. I cooked meals at home and my brother’s boss treated our family to meals at restaurants. Friends sent gifts to my parents’ home. My kids brought youthful energy and joy.
My mom was his rock, his reason. Once he came back to us, he didn’t want anyone but her near him. And she never once complained. She was just grateful he was alive.
They say love is willing the good of the other.
But for a man? A good woman is more than rubies. She reminds you who you are when you forget. She stands by you in sickness and in health. When there’s only the sound of hospital machines and a heartbeat she’s praying won’t stop.
In the East, men were the warriors and women the healers.
In the West, men held the power and women had grace.
But in every culture, the deepest truth is the same:
A good woman brings you back to life
and gives you children and grandchildren who adore you, who drop everything to be by your side when it matters most.
A woman who is aware of her perceived shortcomings but uses them as fuel to improve not as excuses to bypass responsibility is one who has been guided from above, committed to growth & maximizing her potential — a level of self awareness rare but more essential than ever.
