Towards the end of last year I started to learn about centering prayer and I'm looking forward to trying it. I'm reading about it, contemplating doing it, but haven't actually started lol. I love reading about your journey to authenticity, it feels like this is a theme that is coming up for me too. Especially around the ways I show up trying to please everyone else. It feels as if that way of being is no longer acceptable to me and honestly it scares me a little because I've been like this my whole life, but I know the people who love me will stick around.
I love that you are feeling more authentic 💜 I get what you are saying, it’s not about lying before but it’s about growing in to the you that has always been there!
I’ve said before that I love being in my 40’s and part of that is being more authentic. It’s not that I don’t care what people think of me anymore but I care a lot less about what certain people think of me.
I am SO looking forward to my 40s and beyond for this exact reason. I boldly announced at Christmas to my family (most of whom are child free), “I am done with this mother phase of life. I don’t want kids. Bring on the crone. I’m ready to not care anymore!” 🤭🤭🤭 everyone just stared at me, then told me how awful menopause is (I was the youngest in the room).
Love that!!! You absolutely can be authentic at all those stages in your life because we all have to move through them and grow but I think that the crone stage is where you can embrace yourself!
Menopause can be crap though 😔 I am in the perimenopausal stage which has been rough but thankfully I have an amazing doctor who has been very supportive and I am using HRT (which I know isn’t for everyone) and is has been a life saver, literally!
My aunt got on her high horse about HRT and how people need to just change their diet, and guess who is now on HRT 🙄 this is why I put space lol. I’m really glad that HRT is helping you so much 💜 and that you’re around to report about it 🫂

I am right there with you. It is super scary, but you’re right, it needs to happen, and those who love us will stay with us! Best wishes this year 💜
