A Special Passage for Monica

From The Call - Sometimes it comes as a soft-bellied whisper. Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency, but it always says, “Wake up my love. You are walking asleep, there’s no safety in that.”

 

Now Where Did I Put That?

Aging can be fun if we think about it as a never-ending game of hide-and-seek. The physical aspects of getting older are easier for us to deal with, than the mental and emotional changes taking place within our bodies. We understand a tire with a nail in it isn’t fit to be on the road, but if the same tire just doesn’t feel like going out for a Sunday drive because it may or may not feel flat, we have a hard time accepting that.

And it’s not just us. There is a lot of judgement going on between people who see another person being emotional as a weakness. Most of us can remember a time when we have commented negatively about a person who allows their mental state to overwhelm them and take over their life. We may be sorry we said it later, but we have already passed judgement.

 

Our Ever Changing Hormones

If having a five o’clock shadow wasn’t enough, we get to read our prescription bottle for our female dryness medication with our “readers” - If you don’t know, it’s the cool new way to say bifocals. And older sisters, if you are lucky enough to have one, were given to us as gifts from God as town criers to alert us of our next genetic mutation.

Realizing that science and chemistry are behind what we are feeling is a great tool for reconnecting with ourselves and to finding balance in our lives by way of proper nutrition. If we fail to pay attention to our bodies, like Monica did, we may find ourselves gasping for breath, thinking today might be our last day. We, women, have the propensity to suffer silently.

 

It’s Best to Switch to Vodka now

Monica shares her darkness, her light and her compassion in today’s call. We also ponder these questions...Does a glass of red wine trigger hot flashes during the night? Are meditations and exercise black magic for curing memory lapses?

Monica Tarr of Loveyourcustomers.com, it is our pleasure to engage in this very public, private conversation with you. If any of you listening are interested in building customer or employee loyalty in your business, Monica has a just the program to get you there.
