Intro

Fifteen years ago I wanted to start a comic strip called Mary Menopause. Being the total procrastinator that I am fifteen years later I'm finally putting the pen to paper so to speak. Mary's theme was to bring humor, incite interest and to educate women regarding health issues. Fifteen years have passed and I truly believe that we have not traveled that far in the recognition of women's health problems and their solutions.

I have had many health issues in my life. Some very unpleasant and painful. I know that the key to my success of survival was 3 things. One, a good sense of humor, secondly, educating myself about my body and last believing in myself and developing my ID.

INSPIRATION

You grew a pretty flower then handed me a seed
Hoping that I'd plant it and choose what I would need
I took the tiny grain and tossed it to the wind
Thinking that it sow alone it didn't what a sin

You gave me some sweet music and hoped I hear the sound
Thinking that the notes I heard were really quite profound
I played and played the music, till my ears had fallen deaf
Never thinking melodies could make my mind the best

You pointed to the sky and taught me how to reach
Saying that it's mine and I could hit my peak
I stretched and took my fingers and tried to touch the clouds
Falling to my EGO cause I was so damn proud

You tried to reach my mind and give me food for thought
Wanting me to break the rock that keeps me so distraught
I think you conquered that and now I can truly see
Moms like you are hard to find thanks for helping me
