This Indian woman’s yoga instructor offered to give her a Sanskrit name, and it inspired her to write the funniest “open letter” ever. So I do yoga. I love yoga. It stretches me in ways I didn’t know I could stretch. It builds muscles I didn’t know I had. And it soothes me and fills me

My sister introduced me to sweet potato fries several years ago, and now they are one of my favorite side dish/desserts. If you’ve eaten these little treasures, you know they definitely fit into both categories. So when your sweet tooth is aching, sweet taters are here to save the day. Luckily for me, our CSA

You might not know what I’m thinking if I don’t say it out loud, but can my thoughts completely change the outcome of your life? Can a scientist’s thoughts about a mouse or a group of mice change the outcome of the experiment using those mice? Could people who are blind learn to see if
