My oldest granddaughter made the passage into young womanhood this week. She'd probably never speak to me again if she knew I shared, but I was so excited that we'll be even more close now... I'm sure of it. I can't help but think about the ceremony that Dr. Northrup introduced in one of her books. The only thing her mom and younger daughter have monopolized her time this week.
This may sound trivial to you all, but it is a special time to me.

Tee Hee, I had to go back and see where this was posted!

How times have changed. When I was young, all things concerning the woman's body were kept hush, hush. Now we celebrate every phase. I like this way soooo much better.

I remember when mama told me about 'becoming a woman' my comment was..."then I don't want to be a woman!" Interestingly enough...my daughter said the same thing when I told her...

I like the notion of celebrating much better as well!

Gimster, this is a special time for her and for you. And I think Dr. Northrup is right on when she talks about celebrating the stages of our lives. Celebrating being women is important, and if we don't do it, who will?

I have read all Northrup's books. Her "Wisdom of Menopause" really helped me, and I recommend it to everyone who's even remotely close to menopause!

I believe the more things we can celebrate in life, the better we feel. Why not look for the positive in everything and celebrate?! You are such a dear grandmother.
