managing your hot flashes at work

I once worked in a professional office with a wonderful woman who had mastered the art of managing menopause at work - by layering and wrapping!   She wore light and loose clothing and always had a wrap around her - or not around her - then around her.... you know what I mean!   

She always looked pulled together, elegant and effortless as she rode through the joy of hot flashes at work!

Here is a great article from "healthline" with more tips to help you "keep your cool" at work ...

5 Menopause Myths — Debunked (from healthline.com)

Let's begin with #2!

2. Menopause Starts at Age 50

There’s no magic number that signals the official onset of menopause. Women generally enter menopause between the age of 45 and 55, but in rare cases women can experience menopause as early as their 30s or as late as their 60s. Also, keep in mind that menopause technically occurs once a woman ceases to have her period for 12 consecutive months. Until then, a woman is considered perimenopausal.

5. Menopause Kills Your Sex Drive

Menopause does not rob you of your mojo! Many women find a newfound sense of creativity and heightened self-confidence during midlife as they begin to focus more attention on their own needs and relationships which can do wonders for their sex life.  Don’t deprive yourself of healthy, enjoyable sex — at any age.

Greg Brady (Barry Williams)

Barry Williams turned 59 today.   You and I likely know him best as Greg Brady.   You know the one - from that show - the Brady Bunch?   "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"!   I was in love with him (although I admit I also had a crush on Peter).... torn between two Brady's - feeling like a fool.   That show was such a part of our lives.   I wanted to date Greg (and Peter).  I wanted Marcias perfectly straight hair.   I wanted that house with that staircase and I wondered if Alice and the Butcher ever made out.   Although the show only ran for 6 years from 1969 to 1974 it impacted an entire generation and contiues to do so today.

I recently had the opportunity to chat with Barry Williams - as part of my job in radio.  When my morning show co-host told me he had set up the interview for us I was giddy like a 13 year old.   I swear I didn't sleep the night before!    But of course I wanted to behave like the broadcast professional that I am - so I had to really pull myself together... then I heard him say "Hello!"...
(Oh my God - Oh my God ---pull it together!!!)
