Jane, I see you as a fantastic creator. But even if you didn't create, you still wouldn't be stupid. I'm glad creating makes you feel capable and empowered.
Good morning Jane. I was dining with my handsome son in an Arlington VA restaurant last evening. Visiting my 18 month old granddaughter and his stunning wife. He knows I’m a storyteller and a writer. I said how much the last few months of Substack have upped my productivity and vibe. Enjoy your writing.
It makes me sad to know you’re trying to prove your intelligence. You just are intelligent, Jane. Believe it, let it permeate. I see you. You are a writer and a beautiful smart woman.
That's a great idea with affirmations. I need to try that. Hormones I hear you. The menopause thing with myself set me off in away. Hormones have always been an issue for me
I think they are an issue for most women. I know lots of people talk and write about menopause but it honestly probably isn't talked about enough. They make you crazy. I think I have PMDD.
Menopause isn't talked about much. I started my blog here about Menopause and I kind of drifted away from it. I used to have horrible pms due to PCOS that was undiagnosed. Hormones affect us. Menopausal transition is another animal. Our medical system is still lagging for women's health
Sorry you felt that way. It's sad so many of us have dealt with that in our past. It's hard to let go of. Gentle souls and empathy makes us standout that is a superpower on it's own
Thanks so much, Peter. I'm sorry you went through that but glad to see you are using that motivate yourself. Have gone through difficulties like that also fosters empathy for others.

Consider how many millions of people scoop for free two or three times a day and never figure out how to monetize it!

That's awesome! Sounds like a wonderful time

Thanks. Holly so much of that is in my past and sometimes it surfaces. Thanks so much for kind words
It sucks when the past resurfaces.
I’ve started a writing in the notepad on my phone. Affirmations and nice things people have said to me copy and pasted there.
It is hard to believe it when the hormones are raging and the mood is low but I do pull it out from time to time and it can lift me out of despair.

That is totally the truth. Lagging for women’s health.
Oh Jane, same here! Always felt like a dumbass! Still do a lot of the time. Never enough… yet our gentle souls are our superpower.

Forget the hurting things others say. You‘re a creator and that’s awesome. You are awesome! 💛
Thanks so much for your kind words. Sometimes I still get triggered. I know who I am and that's enough and yet..
I totally can relate.
Jane, you're fine, you certainly are creative, now go ahead and take off, define your vision!
Thanks, Rob. I have taken off :)
True! I am a pet sitter and dog walker and 💩 is part of the job. There are businesses that only do 💩 clean up and they do quite well
Thanks so much, Mike. I appreciate your encouragement and insight
