“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start from where you are and change the end.” ~C.S. Lewis
It was a dark January day in 2008 when my auntie called with the news “He did it.”
I felt so confused. “Did he try? Or did he succeed?” I asked as my body moved into shock.
“He succeeded,” she said. And in that moment my whole life changed.
This was a moment I often wished for—my dad was gone.
Dad had taken his life on January 8th, 2008, two days after my twenty-sixth birthday. He had even told me of his plans, I just didn’t believe him. I thought he was far too selfish to ever kill himself.
How wrong I was. I was consumed by guilt, but I felt like ma…

Unless you’re Greek you probably don’t have a passionate opinion about feta. In Greece, feta is the Brad Pitt of the cheese world. From breakfast to dessert, feta always has a starring role.
In America, feta’s more like Geoff Stults. It’s a good cheese, but it just doesn’t get that much play. These 15 recipes might just bring feta to the forefront of American cheese culture too. From breakfast sandwiches to tacos, there’s a lot you can do with it to liven up your recipes!
Not all of them are Greek (or even Greek-inspired), but every one will bring a welcome Aegean accent to your day.

“There is no place so awake and alive as the edge of becoming.” ~Sue Monk Kidd
From a small café overlooking the boat harbor in Seward, Alaska, I looked out the window at the enormous mountain peak of Mount Alice that protruded from the earth behind rows of tour boats, sailboats, and a cruise ship large enough to carry several thousand passengers. The last few days of my summer there were coming to an end, and I reflected with gratitude on my time there.
Located directly off the Gulf of Alaska and within Kenai Fjords National Park, Seward is a place people dream about: bald eagles cut through the sky as frequently as clouds, humpback whales breach the calm bay on a quiet morning, and wildlife roam freely within rows of pine trees that crowd the hillside and hug the …

Indian food, as a general category, is incredibly diverse (it’s a big country, after all), but always flavorful. And Indian meals often include a wealth of condiments, sauces, pickles, and dips. Consider this a primer on some of the best Indian sauce, chutney, dip, and condiment recipes.
Growing up, I watched my Indian grandmother eat from a large, stainless-steel plate called a thali, filled with many tiny bowls of condiments.
As I got older I had questions, mainly: Are multiple dips and sauces really necessary at every mea…

If you’re tired of the 5-day-a-week elliptical sessions and feel ready to cover some IRL running distance, good for you. Becoming a runner is a fun and exciting feat — but there’s a little more to it than just lacing up your shoes and hitting the pavement.
Without the proper nutrition, you likely won’t hit Molly Seidel status by your third marathon. OK, that might be a little too ambitious for right now. But in all seriousness, fueling your body appropriately for running is just as important as logging miles.
Here’s the lowdown on how newbie runners should approach food and hydration before attempting their first mile or 5K.

Most people experience their day as busy, overwhelming, scattered, rushed. There isn’t enough time to do everything. There’s pressure and stress in this way of living.
Now, there’s nothing wrong with experiencing life in this way. As I said, most people do it.
But if you’d like a sense of spaciousness, let’s talk.
Let’s talk about how we create the sense of not enough time, and how we might create spaciousness.
How We Create Time Scarcity
The first thing we do is to try to stuff a thousand things into the space of 24 hours. Lots and lots of little things, and often quite a few big things.
When we try to squish a bunch of things into a container, of course it will feel overfull. So then the question is: what fear is driving us to try to do everything in one day?

The earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease are characterized by increasing aggregation of misfolded amyloid-β, but there is considerable debate over the role played by amyloid-β in the onset and progression of the condition. The failure of amyloid-clearing immunotherapies to improve patient outcomes has spurred a great deal of alternative theorizing, some of which regards amyloid-β aggregation as a side-effect of other, more important processes, and some of which adjusts the details by which amyloid-β produces pathology, but retains it as a central pillar of disease onset.

It’s been a hot second (nearly 50,000,000 of them, actually) since most of us have crammed together for live music, sporting events, or fried fair food. While we’ve still got a ways to go, there’s reason to hope that large gatherings and sardine-fests might be on the brink of a comeback.
As a professional marathoner, I’m naturally most amped about the return of road races: fun runs, marathons, long-distance relays, all of it. My last big one was over 17 months ago at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, during which the President interrupted the broadcast to announce the first COVID-known death in the U.S.
With all that’s happened between then and now, that may as well have been a lifetime ago. But as more and more races tentatively commit to going in-person — all six World Marathon Majors are slated for an epic 6-week span this fall — it’s time to st…
