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.  




If you woke up this morning and the sunlight hurt your eyes and what lies ahead seems impossible to face; kiss the reflection in the mirror and be encouraged - it is gonna be a lovely day!


Let us hear from you encouraged yourself today, 
PAUSE and POST a comment.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE A couple of months ago, I went to a church event to do a book signing.    The person in charge directed to a spot where I was to set up.  Ah, I thought I have the best seat in the house, right next to the biggest grill I have ever seen.  I introduced myself to the chef.  In between the turning of his ribs, chicken, and Italian sausage; we found out that we had something in common.  He loves to cook and feed people and me, I just love people. Later when it was time for me to leave, he echoed to let him know if he could ever help.  Jokily I said, “How about at a BACK 2 SCHOOL rally?”  Without hesitation, we exchanged info and I shuffled off.  Months later, I get a call and the voice on the other end said, “Okay tell me where, what to bring and the time.   On August 20, 2011, we hosted a rally in the Victory Pointe housing community on the Westside of Jacksonville, Florida.   In addition to enjoying non-stop food and fun, w e were able to share a message of hope
