For some important reason your essay, Mona, showed up today. Happy belated birthday! I loved reading your healing journey into menopause and weight lifting strength, the power of you, bringing you further into Sekhmet's realm. Thank you for using your voice with such courage.

Happy birthday! I also turned 58 this year, and used to lift weights, but menopause hit me like a ton of bricks and I haven't been in the gym in a couple of years, due to exhaustion. You've inspired me to go back, because I actually really do miss deadlifting!
