What Goes Down (Sometimes) Comes Up Again

This is about the law of gravity inverted...sorta. Nature always strives to create balance, which is otherwise known as homeostasis. Examples would include day and night; high tide and low tide; summer and winter; and, of course, up and down. Gravity, however, seems to create a skewed dimension because it pulls everything down.

Money Is The Third Party In Our Relationship

When you and your partner argue about money, money most likely isn’t the real issue Finance is just the arena the underlying issue gets played out on.
