Around age 47 I started noticing radical changes in the way my body looked and felt. Mind you, the perky breast, flat tummy and firm tush had been highjacked by gravity long ago. At 47, I told myself that my body was turning on me. Now at 52, I realize that it's not turning on me, but standing up to me. It's sending me a clear message: "Look, I've been through the good and the bad times, through

Each day I come to understand more and more why they call it the Change. Everyday there is something different going on with my body. My cycle, or the "Lady in Red" as I call her is completely in charge. She shows up and out whenever, and might I add at the most inopportune times. It can be quite annoying.Another funny aspect of this journey is the number of my sisters friends that keep telling

It has been a while since I posted on this blog. Not because menopause does remain a relevant issue. I'm writing to share a natural remedy that was really beneficial to me.Yunnan Baiyao Chinese herbal supplements aids in the reduction of heavy or prolonged menstrual flow. It was very beneficial to me. I was at the point that I was considering taking synthetic progesterone. I am not say

Though Aunt Flo still shows up and out when she wants to.I feel as if my womb is as useless as damp matches. But I still want to keep it, it is a gift from God. After all, it has borne children and nurtured the souls of wounded men. Though my thoughts may waiver, my inner vision is keener than ever.Though I may become disoriented by this birthing of the new, my intuition is enhanced and I am

What's Eating You?The menopausal process is a wonderful time to make the mind, body, spirit connection. It is a time that requires you to pay absolute attention to yourself. What you are putting into your body both in terms of the foods we ingest, but more importantly the emotions that we allow to enter our being. Though it is nearly impossible to completely avoid negative stressors, we can

Now don't get it twisted, I can still drop it like it's hot, I just have to be sure that my mate is strong enough to help me pick it up. ( LOL) .To all my sisters, we are sexual beings from the time we enter the Universe until the time we leave. Though our desires may change; it may take longer and the earth may just grunt a little rather than move under your feet, but "girl you still got it" .

When our mothers and grandmothers went through what was appropriately called the change, there were few pills or hormones to "treat" menopause. "The change" was seen as a natural phase in a woman's life. A stage where a woman went from the childbearing years to middle age. With that came wisdom and a signal for the woman to focus inward now that the children had been reared.In our current
