menopause…

the fire that makes our cheeks red & clothes damp with sweat is the bonfire of our lives, putting to rest the struggles of our past, and opening the portal of our next journey in life. i stand strong in my quest, and the challenges of each wave that wants to bring me to my knees, i know i will find the shore ahead. my heart leads me now, but my body needs time to adjust... and with compassion and patience by our side, we move valiantly forward.
