LOVELY DAY

How can you have a lovely day, when your reproductive factory has given you a pink slip – welcoming you to your season of Menopause. How? By educating and taking care of ourselves.  Menopause should not to be considered a sign of ill health or a death sentence.  It is a season in our lives where learn how to love and accept ourselves in a whole new way.  While we do not want to make light of the changes, pains and symptoms that come along for the ride, it is for to our advantage to:                     1.  Take time to talk with your doctor(s)                     2.  Develop supportive relationships                      3.  Make the changes that will promote healthy lifestyles and                     4.  Remember that you are not on this journey alone.    <p></iframe<p style="text-align: center;"><br /> <br /> <div class="Mso

STILL

For the past two weeks, I have had the privilege of sitting with   two different group   of ladies   in   two separate SHUT INs  in   two different states .     At both sessions, it was brought to our attention that we have become immuned to what is going on around us. On my return flight, I had a person sit next to me; they buckled up and proceeded to text on their cell phone.    As the plane prepared for takeoff, you know the drill: the flight attendant welcomed us passengers, reminded us of our destination, the weather and what they will be serving once we have reached our cruising altitude.    They ran through safety features and emergency exits and last but not least, instructed everyone to turn off ALL cell phones and electronics devices. As we lifted up off the runway, so did my attitude.    I couldn’t believe this person continued to text.  I found myself in a place where I had to make a quick decision, either I was going to snatch their phone or I was going to be still.
