Hi, I’m Missy. I am a 53-year-mom of four and Nana (or Nene as some of the grands call me) of six. I am a wife, daughter, sister, aunt, and child of God. I am also a Registered Nurse serving in a leadership role. I love reading, thrifting, going to garage sales, learning about plants, and decorating my home with decor that brings me joy. A great afternoon is browsing TJ Maxx, a consignment shop or my local Goodwill.
This all sounds great right? A fulfilling and busy life. However, as I entered perimenopause and middle age, I began to feel anxious, lost, and disinterested. Ever felt this way? Definitely do not recommend even though Mother Nature doesn’t care about that. She decided to continue to wreak havoc and all of those things I love to do were suddenly hard to be interested in. It also began to force me to face things I either struggled with, never dealt with, or had to relive. My emotions had suddenly become their own person and decided to take over my body.
So, how have I been handling this? This is where this blog comes in. I built this blog to share my journey with perimenopause and what is helping me along the way. I want to share tips and tricks, have real discussions about our experiences, and also throw in some fun about books, fashion, thrifting and most importantly, how to put yourself first. Because that has been the most important focus of all during this time…..making myself a priority. And it should be for you too!
So, grab a cup of your favorite drink or your favorite snack and let’s chat. Leave me a comment below, let’s connect and share our stories. I can’t wait to hear from you!
Oh I am so excited to see where this leads! Perimenopause has rocked my world for sure. It’s good to know I’m not the only one!
