Menopause is a life stage marked by the decline of the essential female hormones; estrogen & progesterone.
Menopause is more than hot flashes and night sweats. It can be marked by fatigue and difficulty with sleep. Many women find it suddenly more difficult to get and stay in shape. Some find their zest for life diminished or the fire gone from their sex drive. All these can be symptoms of menopause.

GOD AND ME: A Journey to Holy Ground
with Neale Donald Walsch
author of Conversations with God
Every human being has asked, at one time in his or her life…Why am I here? What is the purpose of all this? What is my function, beyond survival? What happens when this is over? Now, in this most unusual weekend spiritual retreat, your most persistent questions about life and God, the soul’s purpose and eternity will be explored. This will not be a lecture or a stand up talk. This will be a quiet, gentle, interactive conversation, including highly focused interchanges with those in the room.
