Keep your mind sharp for life

Pause for quiet

Daily meditation turns back the clock on the part of the brain (prefrontal cortex) involved in memory and decision-making.

The Mary Tyler Moore SHOW

From That Girl in the 1960s to Ally McBeal in the 1990s to Sex and the City in the 2000s, television has long reflected the shifting image of independent women. Yet the true game-changer came in 1970, when The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduced Mary Richards—30, single, stylish and making her way in a newsroom full of men.
