This is going to be a short post. I know this is not a popular topic, but it’s a new reality for me.
I’m not upset at the thought of no longer having a period. I’m done having children so no longer being able to procreate doesn’t upset me either. What upsets me is the stereotypes of what going through “the change” represents.
A women going through menopause is somehow less of a woman because she can no longer reproduce. She is no longer sexually desirable. She’s more angry and emotional. A woman going through menopause is heading down the road of spinsterhood.
Needless to say I don’t agree with that representation. As far as I’m concerned my womanhood doesn’t stop just because my period has.
My name is Lisa M Evans MA, CDP. I am an author, blogger, introvert and vegan. I earned a Masters degree in Psychology from Cleveland State University and a certification in Diversity Management.
I created this blog to come out of my shell and share my perspective on a variety of topics. I want to use this blog as a sounding board, gathering place and learning opportunity.
I plan on sharing a little bit of everything that interests me, natural hair, being vegan, and anything else that moves me.
I have three titles that are available on Amazon, I Know How to Lose Weight, So Why Haven't I, a self-help book that was written as a way to work through my issues with weight and dig deeper than just diet and exercise, This is my brain on emotion, a collection of poems that I have written over the years to express my innermost thoughts and feelings, Rich Man's Song, a children's book that teaches a valuable lesson about love and money.
