Frothy pink July

At last the honeysuckle

grapples through the tree

Reaching skyward

beside the frothy pink of

the flowering almond

Chicks are chirping on the rooftops

watching the parent sparrows below

nipping at seeds in the feeder

To and fro

to and fro

to and fro

Do you have flowers in your life? in a pot by the sink? in a window box? on a balcony? in a garden? in a park? in a painting? on a screensaver? as your mobile wallpaper? in your mind when you close your eyes? the scent in the summer beguiles us along with the bees...

Reflect, boost the positives and achieve your outcomes

Reconnection and Renewal after Menopause - Welcoming a New Chapter

Remember, you are not alone. Many women have successfully navigated the challenges of menopause and emerged stronger and more resilient. By prioritizing self-care, seeking support and embracing change, you can thrive in this new chapter of your life.

Self-discovery after menopause

Menopause marks a significant life transition, often accompanied by physical and emotional changes. However, it also presents an opportunity for renewal and growth. As you navigate this new phase of life, it's essential to welcome your evolving self and begin your journey of self-discovery.

Welcoming a New Chapter: A Fresh Start 🦋

As you emerge from the storm of menopause, you may find yourself with a sense of renewed energy and clarity. This is a perfect time to reassess your life and look to what you want and need for your future. However, it's important to acknowledge any lingering emotional or psychological baggage that may be holding you back.

Seeking Support

If you're struggling with persistent challenges, consider seeking professional help. A therapist or life coach can provide guidance and support as you work through these issues.

Embracing Lifelong Learning

The human brain is incredibly adaptable, and learning new things can keep your mind sharp and your spirit vibrant. Whether it's a new hobby, a language course, or a volunteer opportunity, embrace lifelong learning and discover new interests and activities that motivate you.

Finding friends after menopause 🙋🏻‍♂️ 🙋

Joining online communities or local groups can provide valuable support and friendship. Sharing experiences with others who understand can alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness.

You may be asking where do I go next?  How do I move on after all that has happened to me?

Your major life transition could be: bereavement, illness, moving home, job change, different country/language, changes around family life such as older parents, partner, children - or anything that is a major shift in your life right now

Warmth, kindness and wisdom - if you need these, I am here with sensitive listening and a friendly face.

I am positive, encouraging and patient. I will work at your pace to discover ways to access your inner resources, your energy and focus.
