Hmm. You've got me thinking... I've done several rituals for young girls reaching menarche, and about a billion blessingways for new mamas, and even one for a brave and wonderful friend facing cancer... but I've never attended a Happy Croning party.
While I'm not having hot flashes (or rather, not debilitating ones, just rip-off-the-clothes for a while), I'm definitely feeling like I'm getting to cash in on my life experiences... I'm a member of a group of attachment parents, and while we all have little kids running around, I'm definitely the oldest there (by about 10 years, for the most part). It's kind of nice to have people asking questions and then, you know, really listening to what you say because you've managed to grow up a pile of kids without losing 'em. Hope I keep my marbles long enough to enjoy it!
If they run that panel, I am SO THERE. Thanks for the novel suggestion, I'll see if I can find it!
