We all experience and relate to things differently, and menopause is no exception. In this book, MENO-Vations, we share real thoughts on menopause, offer suggested actions to cope, and provide vibrant art and blank space to encourage personal reflection. We call these thoughts MENO-Vations—a.k.a. menopause motivations.
MENO-Vations is designed to help us connect and look at ourselves and the menopause journey with humor and positivity. It allows us to incorporate the reality of womanly changes and the beauty and subjectivity of art into daily motivation.
Take a few minutes each day to relax; refl ect on a topic, along with the associated painting; and relate them to you and your experiences. Before you know it, you are smiling and unbothered at the thought of a menopausal inconvenience.
MENO-Vations is perfect for women’s book clubs and small-group discussions that want to share perspectives, laugh, and deepen common bonds.
If you or someone you know is approaching, going through, or can remember the “joys” of menopause, this unique book is a must! From hot fl ashes to forgetfulness, menopause is full of challenges that are best managed with a positive attitude. Take time for a bit of MENO-Vations each day and let its contents motivate you to strut through menopause with humor and art.
Of course I'm biased, but I enjoyed writing, reading and sharing this book. I have had a few sessions with friends where we discuss some of the topics listed in the book as well as some of the artwork presented. MENO-Vations provided a way to open up about some of our experiences while laughing and showing support for each other. Of course, the wine helped loosen us up! :)
Bright and cheerful, this book is aimed at ladies of a certain age and is filled with words of advice in words and images. At times the images were all a little modern and didn't feel like they applied to me. A book that I am sure will find a market amongst women, just not for me.
