This is where I write about midlife as I’m living it, not after I’ve figured it all out.

Sometimes that means menopause, changing bodies, 3 a.m. thoughts and wondering why my knees suddenly have their own soundtrack. Other times it’s grown kids, marriage, grief, identity, getting older, trying something new, or realizing I’m not quite the same woman I was a few years ago.

These aren’t lessons or perfectly packaged advice. They’re the things I’m noticing, thinking about, trying, questioning and occasionally laughing at. Basically, the kind of conversation we might have over coffee when nobody is pretending to have it all together.

Notes From Midlife is a shared space.

I write from my own experience and always leave room for yours. If something I share makes you think oh thank goodness, someone else gets it, makes you laugh, or gives you something to think about, then this little corner of the internet is doing exactly what I want it to do.
