Passages are funny things. Everybody has them, but we don't realize we've passed anything until we look back through our rear view mirrors. We share these milestones notwithstanding. They link us to one another, no matter what our background, age, color, goals, beliefs, religion, or spirituality.
Because we age, either gracefully or kicking and screaming, and because we've made our way through the same natural phases, we are a sisterhood. Some of our baggage may be heavier than others' and some of our locks may spring open at different times. Some of us can afford Gucci luggage and some use A&P brown paper bags held together with twine. Nevertheless, what's inside are Mother Nature's gifts that only women must endure. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature!
From the time we feel our bodies changing and we get that first private lecture from Mom about the joys of budding womanhood to our sitting through countless cartoon featur
es on Stanley Sperm and Olivia Ovary or whispering and giggling secretly with our friends or shrieking from the bathroom during a family reunion, "MOM, I GOT MY PERIOD!" we understand that Mother Nature's sense of humor knows no bounds and she gets her last laugh no matter what we'd rather be doing at the moment.So take a second and put up your feet. Sip some wine, tea, or cappuccino, and laugh back at her a little. She deserves a pie in the face for what she's done to use....so let's give her one! Ya ready?.....
