Amid all the high-minded and sweet sentiments, it’s always helpful to brush up on the actual biology and neuroscience behind the whole relationship thing. Scientists have been picking at brains and bodies of lovers for generations, trying to distill (for one reason or another) the whys and wherefores of romance and lust. What they’ve found… Continue reading What Keeps Us Together? (Biologically Speaking)

The Perfect Valentine’s Day
We’re less than two weeks out from one of the biggest “relationship” holidays there is. As far back as the 17th century, giving cards was the thing to do.

I check the clock every night and realize that, just as my brain is spinning up to writing mode, I need to be spinning it down into that holding pattern known as “sleep” (to… Continue reading New Month, New Topic, You Decide
