Welcome! Happy New Year!

Welcome to the official launch on this blog. I felt January 1st to be an appropriate starting point of this new (ad)venture! What brought me here really was a common denominator among female friends & family. It seems I’ve learned over many a GNO (girls night out) drink or GWA (girls weekend away), that we seem to all have something in common in a very big way. We are all awake at some point in the middle of the night it seems. Three AM is the most common time but it seems to vary (I myself am at present a 4:30 girl). I thought, wouldn’t it be fun to have something to read during those lonely am hours. To laugh, learn a few things & hopefully be distracted long enough that sleep will come easier when you slip back into those sheets. Now, the reason for those night wakes seems again to be a common denominator: menopause, peri-menopause. Although we are not limited to when & where we read posts & e-mails (thank you technology!), you now have a new option, a friendly voice.
      I myself just turned 50 & am already well into menopause. I welcome you all into this journey with me. As well as health tips for the beautiful 40’s & 50’s girls we are, I am an avid gardener, birder, yoga advocate, spaver (spender/saver) & reader. I can’t wait to share the joy of all my interests & activities with you. Thank you!!
