Menopause madness

Those who know me know the last couple of months have been challenging.

Sometimes things are sent to us that send fear straight to our hearts and make us stop, think, reflect, slow down .

As I now prepare for surgery next week, I am working hard to ensure I have the best recovery possible.

What I have done to prepare is exercise, eat well, rest, slow down and ... take a pause.

I have needed to build my strength both physically and mentally, I'm building resilience and peace,

A total hysterectomy with removal of ovaries is what

I'm now preparing for .

The menopause for me has just been dreadful all round

I cannot say the last month hasn't taken it out of me but there really has been so many lessons in there, and when I stopped, was still and listened I have learned.

Change really does start with the smallest pause XX
