Why is it so hard to eat healthy? Over the last year, it’s become more and more clear to me how important eating real food is. I have been very fortunate and have avoided getting the CoronaVirus. I’ve managed to stay healthy. Now… I know a lot of people who have done everything right, wore…

Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude
I’d be lying if I said the pandemic has not affected me. It has. I’m an extrovert and enjoy and feed off others energy. I like to be busy. In January, my husband and I took a vacation, and after we returned I immediately started a new job. My position involves a lot of home…
Strange times
These are strange times. However, we will get through this time together and come out stronger on the other side. Last week I travelled to Indiana for a sales training class. I was a little apprehensive at first flying there, but I convinced myself that everything was going to be fine. While I was there,…
Flashing
Flashing is my term for hot flashes, flushing and night sweats. On my journey into menopause, flashing has been the most bothersome symptom of all for me. Hot flashes are defined as a sudden feeling of feverish heat. As a result, you can experience a red flushed face as well as sweat in places you…
Pain Sucks!
Pain sucks! My husband has a joke about pain. He says if he wakes up in the morning and if something is not hurting, then he’s dead. I used to laugh, but now I feel the same way. I sound like Rice Krispies when I get out of bed every morning! Snap, crackle, pop!  Getting…
Discharge. What is it? Why do we have it?
Discharge What is it? Why do we have it? No one ever talks about discharge, right? So, I will… I’m surprised at how many women don’t and have never discussed this subject. I mean, it’s not something you want to talk about over dinner, but I wish I knew more about it from a medical…
Christmas is over
The holidays are finally over and I for one am happy. I may get some of you who think I’m a scrooge or the Grinch, and that’s okay. I have spent my entire life celebrating the holidays with every ounce of my being. The decorations for all the holidays, the parties celebrating everything from graduations…
Changes in our health
Changes in our health At what age do we start to notice changes in our health?  Is it in your 40’s, 50’s 60’s 70’s? My eyesight started to change in my late 30’s. My distance vision got worse first, then in my mid 40’s I started having trouble reading. I know this is normal, but…
The Chosen One
THE CHOSEN ONE This post is a hard one for me to write… As we get older, menopause is not the only change we may go through. The relationship with our parents changes too. When my dad was alive, I never worried about my mom because I knew he was taking care of her…
What’s the deal with panty liners?
What’s the deal with panty liners? They are horrible! Every time I wear one, it somehow ends up on my thigh, or sometimes it even ends up on my butt or lower back! LOL!  I don’t know if it’s because of my increased amount of sweat, or because they have minimal sticking power. Either way,…
