I’ve taken to funneling these rants into reading and learning more about the reform initiatives but more importantly, how I can be one of the many that together can affect change in this system for women. The National Women’s Law Center has some fantastic facts and information, as well as ways to get involved by Contacting your Congress-person.

Viewing the road that lead(s) one to an end goal can be enlightening AND jarring…but for darn sure, full of teachable moments. And so, connecting all of the rutted, as-well-as, all of the smooth dots that my body’s tires rolled over ‘n over across one long fibroided super-highway…I am finally home in the parking lot of gratitude!

At Fibroid Relief we’ve been snowed in off and on for much of the month. It’s in this weather we find ourselves in a funk over the unexpected changes this creates for our schedules…no cars, no clear roads, canceled workdays, rescheduling, rescheduling again, and again, and AGAIN!!
It’s strange how much this reminds me of [...]
