What do gumboots and dressing gowns have to do with intuition? And why are gumboots just so damn handy?
Your Second Spring is coming
For women experiencing peri-menopause and menopause, life can feel pretty blah with not a lot to look forward to. But then along comes your Second Spring - time for some fun!

How I healed my thyroid
Did you know that if you have an underactive or overactive thyroid it can be healed? It is possible for your thyroid to come back on line, even if it’s been out of kilter for years.
Who is this angry woman?
Anger is not generally my thing. I’m usually a calm person, happy to go with the flow. Not this year though. Anger has been centre stage! This is my account of how I’ve been trying to deal with it.
