The Messages My Body Gives Me

It isn't too late... to start listening... I mean really listening.... to what my body is trying to say. I have to understand, I think, that everything is happening for a reason. There are a TON of websites on menopause. And most of them talk about things we can do (conventional and/or natural) to make the symptoms tolerable or better yet GO AWAY!! And not that I certainly wouldn't embrace a lovely uninterrupted 7-8 hour night's sleep for more than once every blue moon.... but what if ... .just ... what if ... I could also look at this phase of my life as a journey to embrace. I'm not wanting to sound too "Pollyanna-ish" but it does occur to me at this age that resistance is futile! And to go with the flow of actually honoring menopause may be an approach that I can use as well as taking my supplements, etc. This is definately a time of change. Some of it, not so fun, but some of it has been good. I've learned about EFT, and D'Mannose, (an amazing product I'll talk about later) and Superfoods, and Green Drinks, and DHEA, and Probiotics and Anti-fungals. (I'm one of those people who chooses natural over conventional). But probably at least as importantly I've been challenged to go deeper. To use my time wisely. To use my energy wisely. To be more conscious. To accept what is. To heal my hurts instead of carrying them around. To be more vulnerable and not hide so much. I think those are good things.

I'm 50 years old and though I've been in perimenopause now for 10 years I still menstruate so I am not "finished" yet! If this blog is something that speaks to you in some way, I'd love to bring you with me... whoever you are. Maybe just an imagined audience, maybe not. In any event, ... we'll see what happens!
