Mi grand baby Olivia enjoys mindfulness meditation, which helps to cultivate a sense of self-awareness, of your body, of your breath, of your emotions, your feelings, your beliefs, your thoughts, but you're staying connected to a state of peace.

A study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that meditation might have a lasting effect on the amygdala, the part of the brain that processes emotion.

The Carters are celebrating their 75 years of marriage today. They are the longest in presidential history. Jimmy, 96, and Rosalynn, 93, mark this special occasion in the town where they met nearly one hundred years ago.

May God continue to bless this amazing couple of love birds in paradise after a young midshipman needed a date one evening while he was home from the U.S. Naval Academy, in Annapolis so his younger sister paired him with a family friend who already had a crush on him from way back.

As Krysten Sinema and Liz Cheney apparently agree on saving the Senate filibuster in US Congress, are these blondes having fun?

Blonde hair is seen as the most covetable color among women since it's rare but not quite as polarizing as the redhead. And yes, it's true: Blondes really do have more fun or are at least seen that way, anyway.

While studies have shown that blondes are considered more approachable, other women tend to be rated higher for attractiveness and are assumed to be more intelligent and capable.
