This is so fucking good. So sassy.
In Chinese medicine, menopause is called one’s “second spring.” Fueled by a sundown Power Nap, we become the alphas of all humanity!
But if we fall prey to the narrative of social norms, and continue to sacrifice our life force for the good of others only? Then watch the fuck out, because the word grumpy hardly touches the mood.
Our kitten is in heat for the first time. She’s yowling her head off and is totally tripping on her hormones. It makes me feel SO validated.
Rise up, and don’t worry about WHEN we are considered old. This is the coming of age of the crone, and we are the answers to our grandmothers prayers.
Rise up and remember, rewild, and reclaim yourself, for now you become La Loba, the wolf woman with the many colored hair!
When the eggs dry up, the fucks go right out the window with them.
It’s glorious. It’s sensation-al. And it is so very very powerful in this most pivotal of times.
One proto-crone to another… loved reading your piece here. It made me smile.
