Patience by Mary Oliver What is the good life now? Why, look here, consider the moon’s white crescent rounding, slowly, over the half month to still another perfect circle – the shining eye that lightens the hills, that lays down the shadows of the branches of the trees, the summons the flowers to open their […]
This week is our second official Vivid Menopause planning retreat. I arrived on Denman Island yesterday afternoon and I’ve been having a wonderful time with Bronwyn (and Bob and Bella, too!) So far we’ve eaten delicious food, walked a beautiful path by the sea, drank delicious coffee, and have barely stopped talking. There’s so much […]

This week’s conversation is about connection – to natural cycles, to ourselves, and to our bodies. How can our daily practices help to soothe our sense of disconnection and begin to bring us home to our bodies?
What does it really mean to come home to your body? This question has guided much of my work over the last twenty years. I was a child of trauma, and learned at an early age that my body was not always a safe place to be. I developed coping strategies that allowed me to […]
On Tuesday morning, after several days of rain, I woke to sunshine and the sounds of birds. The weather had shifted. There wasn’t the heat or angle of summer anymore. Yellow finches sat in the tops of the tall orange cosmos flowers, which are daily forming seed heads. The purple hollyhocks, red Echinacea and tiny, […]

I’m a little bit tired of all the advice, the do’s and don’ts, the little comments, the magazine articles, all telling me, a woman at menopause, what is appropriate for a “woman my age.” Are you tired too? What if you had permission to do/dress/be in whatever way most fed your spirit, whatever way lit […]
Yes, you do. You deserve to take up the space you need in the world. I have noticed an interesting thing happening in my life over the last couple of years of menopause. I am no longer willing to sacrifice my comfort for trivial reasons. After a lifetime of turning my attention to other people’s […]
Stepping into Vivid Menopause took me into the depths of processing and understanding my path up to this point and beyond. I descended and ascended back into myself through encouragement from the course work. I am empowered to create and share the wisdom to support other women. Every woman stepping into their wise women part of their life should embrace taking the course, to be held supported and encouraged to be the amazing person that they are. Bronwyn Simons and Annagrace Kaye were there for me every step of the way.
