Moonlighting in a Wrinkled Birthday Suit : A Lunar Look at Menopause

Menopause has found a new friend to hang with named mermapause. She's wild with words and tells it like it is. Let me break it down for U. Mer translates to 'light' in early Egyptian writings. Ma is a very busy Sanskrit word meaning: moon, rebirth, divine mother energy and regeneration. Put mer and ma together with the pause, which was too tired to do anything much, and ladies, we are in the moonlighting bizniz of mermapause, with a real cause for life applause. Mother Nature makes a guest appearance and the change of life becomes a life of change as muse, ego, memory minder, yoga girl, and the other woman all put in their two cents and six sense. The author's writing style of this life chapter, minus any actual chapter demarcation, flips the light switch on high with humor, sass, and a masterful command of pow-wow: play on words and words of wisdom.
