Over the weekend, I was thinking that it had been a while since I posted a new blog for Motivated to Move. A lot has been happening since spring 2022 and it hasn’t been easy to make sense of it. For the sake of all those who are interested, I thought I would share with you a little of my world as a 50-something black woman.
In June 2022, I moved from London to the Essex coast. As I hurtle towards my 54th year in July 2023, I am beginning to better understand how the menopause has affected different areas of my life emotionally, while bringing a sense of freedom that I haven’t felt since I was eighteen. This has resulted in a new me that is constantly evolving and growing. I like this new me, who is ready to set off on new ventures and see the world with a different perspective, uninfluenced by others’ expectations. Every single thing I thought I knew is constantly changing.
I cannot thank Karen Arthur and the Menopause Whilst Black podcast enough for the wisdom and advice I managed to download over the last few months.
Therefore, my wish for this season is to document my journey on this platform once more. In the words of Tenor Saw, life is one big road with a lot of signs!
