My horse helps. It’s nice just to be taken for ‘the one who supplies apples and ear scratches.’ No further demands his end, and I get snuggles and micromoments of success in the saddle in return.

Thank you for the recommendation of the podcast with Dr. Mary Claire Haver! I'm in menopause now and was fortunate enough in the early 2000s to find a gyn who knew what she was doing. The principles that Dr. Haver follows are sound, based on what I found out then. Yesterday I messaged the psychiatrist who co-authored Women's Moods, about how hormones affect us at all stages of the reproductive cycle, who referred me to my super gyn. Buying Dr. Haver's new book "The New Menopause" right away. All this is by way of preparing to write my own article for this newsletter.
