If there is anything I like people going through peri menopause to know,  if there's anything I'd like you to know, it's that no matter what route you take, no matter how you feel physically, the very best thing you can do emotionally and spiritually is to begin the painful, healing, scary, but fruitful reckoning with your past so you can properly face your future. The transformative minefield for that, for me.  And I want you to be able to experience this too.  Let me get you started with my I forgive you letter to myself.
