How do you measure, measure a year? A friend of mine posed this question a few weeks ago. Where am I now versus a year ago? Wow, what a difference a year can make. A year ago, I was ending nine months of intense therapy and preparing myself to move forward without that particular safety net. I was terrified, but I learned that I can make positive choices with relationships, and that I can set boundaries. I was angry at The Husband for having surgery that would prevent me from doing the things I wanted... 

Rarely do I venture into MenstruationSpace on Zee Blog. Its just not one of those things that has not come across my radar, until today. I have been reading stories from women about when they first got their periods, and I’m a little shocked at how such an important event in a girl’s life was degraded, mocked or ignored.
