Saying “no” is usually difficult and even painful.
We are afraid that the other will be angry, disappointed, that he no longer loves us or takes us into account … the list is endless.
What would it mean if I had a clean desk at the end of every day? Would I be able to find things more easily the next day? Would it mean that I finished something? Would it mean I had a beginning and an end to my work day? Would it mean I did not have very much work? If my physical desk is clean do I have to clean my computer desktop and file all my emails?
One outcome of aging is silver hair.
I have had my own personal dance with it for close to ten years now. As of late, I have really enjoyed seeing the recent trend of women flaunting their natural gray hair. When at the store and reading social media feeds, I see more and more women revealing their gray roots and hair. I find it empowering to witness more women embracing their age of wisdom and appreciating their gorgeous natural silver hair! I must also point out the fact that younger women who do not have natural gray hair are having their hair colored to resemble silver highlights and colors.
Menopause is a fact of every woman’s life. Some women may feel mentally and emotionally weak during this phase, and some may be actually fighting to stay as strong as they were before starting their peri-menopause. Some may be struggling with loneliness and others may be working through it with their beloved family members by their side.
For many years I have been working with women and being their confidante. One of the things I find incredibly sad is to hear how many women allow the negative thoughts they have about their body, impact their lives.
