The achievements that matter in life

29 Jul

When you are paid a compliment, no matter what it is or from whom you receive it, it makes you feel great.  You get a lovely warm glow inside that makes you go ‘ahhhhhhh’.  Even if you are one of those who find it difficult to accept, you still feel a million dollars and as if all the world is paying attention to just you.  Well I’ve been paid the most amazing compliment by a whole bunch of people who really matter to me.  The ladies of the Hysterectomy Association, who are the stalwarts of our forum and the Hysterectomy Association Facebook page have said publicly that they like me and it not only gives me that glow, it also makes me cry – quite a lot actually! In fact I haven’t stopped crying off and on since I first heard. (more…)

The Value of White Wine

  • Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
  • Do you suffer from shyness?
  • Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or
pharmacist about White Wine.

White Wine is the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident
about yourself and your actions. White Wine can help ease you out of
your shyness and let you tell the world that you’re ready and willing to
do just about anything.

You will notice the benefits of White Wine almost immediately, and with
a regime of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent
you from living the life you want to live. Shyness and awkwardness will
be a thing of the past, and you will discover many talents you never
knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with White Wine.

White Wine may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or
nursing should not use White Wine. However, women who wouldn’t mind
nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it. Side effects may
include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration, erotic lustfulness,
loss of motor control, loss of clothing, loss of money, loss of
virginity, delusions of grandeur, table dancing, headache, dehydration,
dry mouth, and a desire to sing Karaoke and play all-night rounds of
Strip Poker, Truth Or Dare, and Naked Twister.

What is this hysterectomy thing?

29 Jul

You may well know by now that I am passionately interested in women’s health, and more specifically about hysterectomy and it’s impact on women’s lives. I have written a couple of books on hysterectomy and if you are desperate to get hold a copy or two, you can simply follow the links at the top of this page. However, these are books that deal with the practical aspects of having a hysterectomy, they don’t really look beyond it at what it is all about – and that’s just what I am begining to do.

I had a hysterectomy when I was 32 years of age, I had it because I suffered from endometriosis, and I didn’t have enough information about it to really make any sort of an informed choice – it just seemed like a good idea at the time! When I think back to it now, although I wouldn’t change having the operation itself, I do have to question whether or not I made the right decision. The reason I question the decision is my growing awareness, and experience, of creating my own reality in life.

What I mean by that is that I am more aware now that I had a choice at the time of my operation; in fact we have choices all the time about everything to do with our lives, but often we don’t exercise them, preferring instead to fix responsibility onto someone or something else. I could choose to be passive and have the hysterectomy, or I could choose (as I have now realised) to understand my own part in my health condition. The latter is a much harder road to take and it isn’t necessarily appropriate for everyone, but I do feel that it was right for me, and I CHOSE to ignore it.

Having said all that, if I hadn’t had a hysterectomy I probably wouldn’t be living in Dorset with my wonderful husband ‘ratbag’; I wouldn’t have the very satisfying and enjoyable work life I have and I probably wouldn’t be writing this blog to you all now. So what I am saying is that the hysterectomy changed my life and not in a negative way – and that, ladies and gentlemen is just where the story begins.

Until tommorow then, with lots of love, much light and tons of laughter
