The month begins with Sun in its sign of debilitation until 16 November and Mars in Capricorn, which is its sign of exaltation. When Sun is in debilitation it is transiting through Libra, the planet known for making connections. This is a good period for looking within and doing some soul searching. It is best to halt, introspect, and see which direction you are going. What do you need to do to get the results you want? Connect with people with whom you have lost touch. Matters related to your personal life would be the area to focus. With Mars in exaltation you have the strength to accomplish what you desire. With Venus in Sagittarius this is a good time to explore new ideas, new territories, and accept challenges as and when they come. You will notice changes abound. Your informed and conscious approach will take you towards success. The positive influence of Jupiter will help you shed off some of the past disappointments, as you come closer to the New Year, you begin to feel new energy, new passion, and new hope.

Since NuvaRing hit the market, more than 700 women have filed lawsuits, claiming it has caused potentially life-threatening blood clots. The battle may change the way millions of women prevent pregnancy.

Last month I was invited to speak to a group of young people brought together to create innovative road safety solutions for their peers.
The problem they are trying to solve is this:
- 88% of young drivers admit to using their mobile phones while driving.
- Texting is the most prevalent behaviour, at traffic lights (50%) and while driving (25%).
- 25% of drivers check email, social media and the internet at the lights, and 15% do so while driving.
Consider that problem in light of these stats, (data from Queensland Government, Australia):
- In 2013, there were 271 …

This year, only three Senators—Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Richard Durbin—got top scores from Food Policy Action for their votes on food and farm issues. This is down from the 29 who earned perfect scores in 2015.
In the House, 79 representatives got perfect scores as opposed to 87 in 2015.
The annual Scorecard ranks lawmakers on whether they support legislation on issues such as GMO labeling, hunger, fisheries management, food waste, pesticides, the EPA’s waters of the U.S. rule, among others.
It’s disappointing that fewer legislators are getting top scores, since one of the purposes of this activity is to hold them accountable and encourage more liberal voting on food and…

“I will breathe. I will think of solutions, I will not let my worry control me. I will not let my stress level break me. I will simply breathe. And it will be okay. Because I don’t quit.” ~Shayne McClendon
It was a Wednesday afternoon in late July, and I felt like my entire world was coming to an end. My husband of almost eleven years had become distant, and during a phone call on my lunch break he told me he couldn’t do this anymore. That evening he told me he no longer loved me and wanted a divorce.
It wasn’t until several weeks later that I learned about another woman and reached a low I never thought possible. What just happened to my life? Just a few short weeks ago I was laughing, smiling, and enjoying my life to the fullest. Now I could barely get out of bed.
I spent the next several months feeling like I had no control over my own emotions.
I’d see pictures in our home where he no longer lived and break down sobbing.
I’d hear songs while driving and literally have to pull over until I could pull myself together.
I’d hide in my room for hours at a time so our children didn’t see mommy crying.
I wasn’t eating, I wasn’t sleeping, my work was suffering, and I was barely making it through my day. I wanted to make this pain stop,…
