In the hit show Dexter, I found it interesting that the character would refer to his dark side as his 'dark passenger.' Astrology provides a rich tapestry of personalities, traits, and potential paths for growth for each zodiac sign. However, just as each sign has its positive strengths, there also exists a "shadow side" — aspects of our personality that may be considered less favorable or those that we choose to suppress to the outside world. Understanding these shadow aspects can offer profound insights into personal challenges and areas for development. Here’s an exploration into the darker traits of each zodiac sign and how recognizing and integrating these aspects can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

I recently was part of a discussion about which was worse: Jail or homelessness. I have the qualifications to comment, unfortunately, and I will add a wild card, too: Mental hospitals. I experienced all those things: Being unhoused, going to jail, and spending time in mental hospitals.

Although this refreshing drink went viral on TikTok last summer, it's been around a lot longer. Yes, you may have noticed, the drink is called lemonade, but it's made with limes. Brazilian lemonade is thought to have originated in Brazil by a street vendor. According to All Recipes, in Brazil, the drink is called limonada Suíça, which translates to Swiss lemonade. The beverage isn't Swiss, but the Swiss company, Nestlé, began selling condensed milk in Brazil in the 1900s, which could be where the drink got its name.

Just because marijuana was legalized in Missouri doesn't mean you can drive if you're high, or drive while getting high. Have you ever been sitting next to someone in traffic who was smoking cannabis causing you to avoid being around that car?
