“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places – and there are so many – where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act . . . “

Healthy Aging Menopause Ayurveda
Healthy aging menopause Ayurveda, these travel together, as Kate O’Donnell and I note on her recent podcast. You can listen to it here. Ayurveda balances conditions.
