Why some couples can heal after infidelity, but others can't
We would all like to imagine that if we were cheated on, we would simply pack our bags, burn that bridge, and never look back. But it's hardly ever that simple, and that can actually be a good thing. Infidelity is one of the hardest things a couple can experience, and indeed it is a leading cause of breakups. But what is less talked about is how many couples actually work through the trauma, heal the wound, and come out stronger. Of course, every situation has to be evaluated uniquely, but cheating isn't nearly as black and white as we would like to think. And there are some major figures who have stayed with their cheating partner, so there must be some merit to it. But if there's one thing experts agree on when it comes to dealing with infidelity, it's that it is hard work, and some couples can't do or aren't aware of the necessary steps recommended by licensed professionals in order to properly restore a healthy relationship.

Discover your Human Design type and what it means
Attempting to decode the mysterious "why" of our human existence has been a trend since, well, forever. To do so, some look to the subconscious and unconscious mind, and the modalities that help us to understand it better: think astrology, tarot, and other archetypal practices. Human Design is unique in that it combines several ancient systems of wisdom: the I Ching, chakra system, astrology, Kabbalah, and Myers-Briggs (among others); blending them into a single system to produce five different energy types. These energy types each have different ways of relating to—and thriving in—the world. Practicioners believe that by learning to work with your energy type, you can make your life flow more easily. Think of it as learning to swim with the current instead of upstream. Intrigued? Click on to discover your Human Design type and what it means.

Step inside the diabolical House of Medici
One of the most famous European aristocratic families of the medieval era was the House of Medici. Ruling Florence, and later Tuscany, during most of the period from 1434 to 1737, the Medici dynasty found success in commerce and banking, after which several family members contributed extensively to art, learning, and architecture through a series of patronages and funding. Indeed, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and other Renaissance masters all benefitted from their generous support. But the influential House of Medici was also at times embroiled in scandal and tyranny, making it one of the most feared of Europe's noble households. The Medici family enjoyed over three centuries of power, prestige, and influence before the dynasty fell in the mid-18th century.

Seeking out the "four F's" of commonly foraged food
The practice of foraging for food resources in the wild dates back to the time of the hunter-gatherer. Long before the advent of organized agriculture, seeking out sustenance in the environment was the only way early humans could survive. As they did so, these pioneers of self-preservation identified a host of edible plants, leaves, and flowers that are still used today by those who like to forage for and prepare wild food in a centuries-old customary manner. In fact, foraging has faced an upswing in popularity in recent years. And while it's essential to correctly identify what's safe to eat and what isn't, venturing into woodland to seek out the "four F's" of commonly foraged food—fruit, foliage, flora, and fungus—serves not only as an exercise in healthy living but as a way of enjoying a communion with Mother Nature. So, do you know how to forage for food from forests? Click through and take your pick from this list of wild edibles.
