It’s rough right now. I don’t think you can see it any other way. No matter your political views, your faith or your world view, we are all feeling it.

A Middle-Age Girls Guide to Perimenopause
Remember the video we all watched when we were in the 7th or 8th grade? You know, the one about Our Changing Bodies?

Don’t Go Changing To Try and Please Me Why I HATE New Year’s Resolutions
I have never liked New Year’s Resolutions. It’s just that I have never understood why, because of a decision the Romans made 2000 plus years ago, we all decide that when the calendar changes from one year to the next what is meant to happen is self improvement.
