Reading Time: 3 minutes The research showed that while 80 percent of the globe’s total farmland is used to rear livestock, this produces just 18 percent of total food calories and 35 percent of protein. It also accounts for 58 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, 57 percent of water pollution, and 56 percent of air pollution.

Reading Time: 4 minutes Really bold courageous people know that there is very little risk in failing because they’ve got a lot of experience with it. When they take on something new, they do it knowing that “failing” is an option but that potential failure isn’t really a cause for concern. It’s not a preferred outcome, but if they fail, it’s a temporary event, not a defining moment.
Luck tends to favor the bold and nothing makes us more risk-tolerant than a string of failures.

Reading Time: 5 minutes The hero of the evening was definitely Arya Stark, who gave a brief press conference, echoing the National Rapier Association’s (NRA) motto: “The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a sword is the ‘baddest chick’ with a tiny sword.”
“They had us in the first half, I’m not gonna lie,” said Arya. “But I knew that Theon’s bitch ass wasn’t going to be able to protect my brother. Plus, the Night King always has that look in his eyes like he knows he’s the shit…Like I won’t pull up. But I’m Arya Stark. He must not know my daddy. Y’all know how we do.”
Reporters asked Arya if she planned to spend some time with her family after losing so many people. But as she walked away from the podium, she looked at Gendry, pulled him toward her bedroom, smiled, turned and said:
“Not today.”

Reading Time: 3 minutes Lately I’ve been revisiting the idea of Living Ageless. I was first introduced to this by one of my favorite teachers and writers, Dr. Christiane Northrup in her book Goddesses Never Age, which I’m currently rereading. I highly recommend it if you haven’t already checked it out. Awesome book!
Northrup’s premise is basically that chronological age doesn’t matter nearly as much as we think it does. What makes us feel ‘old’ is our thoughts and the choices we make on a daily or even to moment-to-moment basis. Her book is basically a deep dive into the wise saying, “You’re only as old as you feel.”

Reading Time: 5 minutes Saturn gives us drive and a sense of purpose, solidly based in a foundation of logistical mastery, all of which provide fuel to help us move forward and make our own unique mission real. And that’s crucial for self-actualisation, individuation, and living an authentic life.

Reading Time: 4 minutes During thousands of years of civilization, women have evolved to deal with the intractable perplexities of life and find means of peaceful coexistence where men have traditionally found roads to conflict. Women have accumulated rich ways of knowing that until recently were dismissed in male circles of power. The alchemy of what has made women the way they are is mysterious: Is it a result of centuries spent trying to survive and prosper in societies where they’ve been viewed as lesser? Or, until recently, of always being appointed the family caregiver, bearing and raising children, tending to elderly parents and disabled siblings, so often left to shoulder the unpaid burdens of real life? Women have learned and taught lessons about how to cope with seeming impossibilities in ways that men traditionally — and to this day — have not. Coaching a slow learner on homework after a day of hassles at the office provides a deep experience of delayed gratification. A woman’s wisdom comes, in part, from the great juggle of her life.
