Like the changing of the seasons, during perimenopause and menopause, our bodies change too (and not always for the better). It's how we deal with those changes that determines how we are perceived by others.

I recently read that menopausal women can develop psychokinesis -- meaning their energy actually causes things to fall and/or fly across the room. So, in addition to the other physical benefits of menopause, I am apparently becoming the Menopausal Medium.

If you're convinced that you'll be tortured by hot flashes and temperature disruptions, then you certainly will be.
