Self Talk I want only ONE easy-to-prepare, ready-to-enjoy festive package. One that includes Christmas family fun activities, small-sized traditional Christmas (Portuguese and Brit) that covers the lot: snacks, meals, drinks and desserts. No fuss, no mess, no arguments. And everybody’s happy. My patience is normally wearing thin by this time of the year. All IContinue reading “Menopausal Mondays”

Menopausal Mondays
Self Talk I used to enjoy reading. I used to enjoy writing. Always loved to socialise and meeting new people.

I keep trying to convince myself to be kind to myself and to take it easy, to accept that not everything isContinue reading “Menopausal Mondays”
