Get Talking!



When did menopause become such a private thing. 
It is important for us to start talking with other women, encourage eachother through the difficult times, and laugh through the good times.
 
Women get together at eachothers houses, restaurants, coffee shops, libraries, parks, etc.
 
Talk about what is happening to you. How do you feel?
What is your body doing, or not doing? 
 
We need to be there for eachother!
 
CRY
LAUGH
TALK
 
Print up the sheets below and use them as discussion starters.
 
Take what you learn and send it to me in a letter to use in my book.  You don't have to, but I would love it if you did!
 
Make the get together fun, quiet, special, or wild!  It just depends on what kind of person you
 
If you have a large group of women, offer funny prizes such as a fan for hot flashes, a bottle of calcium, or other funny things.
 
Bring all your old pads and then donate them to a local nursing home.  They are always in need of them. 
 
Email me and tell me how it went!
