When I interviewed Condoleezza Rice’s family for The Faith of Condoleezza Rice, I found her parents welcomed questions, encouraged debate, and never demanded blind agreement. That’s how strong convictions are truly formed. FB: www.facebook.com/LeslieGinevr...

I’ve ghostwritten for both sides of the aisle. When politics are set aside, we’re all human—made of flesh, driven by the same basic needs. Empathy isn’t partisan; it’s human. ❤️

In every romantic relationship, we marry unfinished business-whether it's with a parent, an ex, or a past version of ourselves. If we don't deal with that emotional baggage, we'll carry it into the next chapter. Healing isn't just for us- it's for the one we hope to love well. elysianholos.net

Acupressure and massage affect neurotransmitters not unlike psychotropic drugs. Acupressure increases circulation, which can increase the absorption of prescribed medication and can leave you feeling overmedicated. After a treatment, drink at least 70 oz of water to help cleanse your body of toxins.
