Hi Carole. I came across your comments on the Menopause and wondered if you'd like to pay us a visit on Crone to the Bone. Our group CTTB has a wise and wonderful female membership who I'm sure would be more than happy to listen, support and assist where they can. Have a look and then set up a discussion. With blessings, Melanie XXX

Hi Carole,

I have accepted your comments, luv, I just don't get to the site every day!
I understand about both hormonal shifts and general lassitude ~ these are extremely challenging times we're living in, as we shift from a lower to a higher vibrational frequency. The ways we "dump" old info from our genetics can look like fatigue, emotional roller coaster, and myriad other "symptoms". I've written about it often and am going to be posting a lot of articles now to help people, on Examiner.com. Here's my page: Practical Spirituality Examiner. I'm also available one-on-one as a guide for the journey: Get Unstuck!

Also, I think Melanie's suggestion, below, about joining the Crone to the Bone group is a good one. Lots of support available in many forms, virtual and live ~ just say "yes"!

Much love,
Amara

Hi Carole,
I am sorry you are so frustrated and unhappy. Many of us have gone through menopause and it can be difficult but also empowering. This evolutionary process can make our dreams reality, make wiser choices and age with grace and beauty. The way to find peace in our world is to start by finding peace within our selves.
Stay in the light.
Bonnie

Hi Carole,

You are so welcome, Carole! Re-reading others' comments to you, I also want to direct you to this article I wrote several years ago, about how toxicity in the body can mimic menopause:

Hot Flash: Hormone Mimics Wreak Havoc on Women's Health

Even if you're in actual menopause now, the more you can reduce your toxic load and improve your overall health, the less stressful the passage will be :-)

I've written a series about how to detoxify your body and home, on EmpowHer.com. Start here:
Allergic ~ Or Toxic?

Finally, here's an article about turning 50, and the challenges and joys of this milestone on life's highway:

Life in the Middle Ages

May these offerings assist you on your journey, dear one!

Blessings and Love to you,
Amara

thank you so much amara for the article on menopause it is a godsend not just to me but to other women too love joy light peace to all at architects carole

Hi Carole ~

I am so glad the menopause article serves you! You asked about Universal Life Church: it's a non-denominational "church without wall", not affiliated with any specific religion. You can learn all about the organization here: ULC

Blessings to you,
Amara

Hi Carole,

Well, there are several ways to handle this:

(1) Go out to the woods or ocean, depending on where you live, and get the rage and frustration out by shouting, running, doing ritual, etc.
(2) Write down all of what's bothering you, then delete the message! Or print it out and burn it :-)
(3) Get an herbal formula or other physical assistance (acupuncture? massage?) to help your body balance some of the symptoms ~ a local health food store may be a good resource for the herbs.
(4) Continue to ask for help, as you've been doing here. You may wish to send private messages if you feel the need to use strong language, as any public board does need to observe certain protocols for the benefit of all.

Hope this helps. Hang in there and remember to breathe! When you feel angry or imbalanced, just taking some really slow, deep breaths outside can make a huge difference.

Love and blessings to you,
Amara

No worries Carol... thank you so much for your apology and I'm sorry too if I came off to strong... it sounds like you are going through a powerful transition and honestly, I don't know anything about it... like I said, I hope you stay on the Architects site, as I know you enjoy it... I see you popping up all over... like you said, we are all just human and trying to do our best... I'm happy you are here and expressing yourself...

All the best Carole... take care and thank you...

Smile ;-) Don't worry, be happy...

Thanks Carole... I hope to get to know you better through this site as well.... take care...

Hi Carole... very sorry not to reply to you sooner... I have been out of town with family and lost track of your message... I just remembered it now...

I'm not really sure what the technical problems are that you are referring to... sounds like just maybe your computer logged you out and you have to go back in with your e-mail and password... but I'm not really sure what the problem is with the friend connection.... I don't have control of that kind of technical stuff... I know this doesn't help at all... sorry about that...

And also, I don't really know anything about the course of miracles, other than it seems very helpful for many people... but I haven't read it or belong to any groups of people that use it... though I know many that have...

Again not much help... but I wanted to reply to you and say hi and hope you are doing well...

Good morning Carole... there is nothing wrong with the chat function, at least on my computer... I just tried and it works fine... if you go to the chat bar at the bottom of any of the pages and the chat window pops up... with the people listed on the right column... then when I type in the bottom left window it comes up fine for me... honestly, I never use the chat, it doesn't seem that many people do, but it works OK... there is nothing on the site that works differently for you than anybody else... not sure about the blog comment either... I think you can blog to your hearts content without having to be a friend with someone... I'm sorry you are having problems, but like I said, I don't really have any control of things like that... the site just works the way it works... but it all seems to be working fine from here... perhaps if you close down your computer and re-start...log into the site again... I don't really know, but when I have problems I do that sometimes and just try again...

No worries asking questions, I just wish I knew more to help you out...

-Rick

Hi Carole... I'm not sure what the problem is... the chat function works fine... and anyone can ask someone else to be their friend on the site... but then that person has to accept the friend request... it is all working fine on the site... so I am not sure why you are still having problems...
