Hello, and welcome to Life Season Letters! Every Sunday for the next year, or for as long as you choose to stay, you can expect to find a heartfelt letter from me in your inbox. These letters will be written from the kitchen table of a horse farm in Middle Tennessee, by a woman who has been living with menopause long enough to have plenty to say about it. Some of what I share will be serious, and some of it will make you wonder how any of us manage to keep a straight face. Most of it, I suspect, will sound very familiar. This first letter is mostly an introduction. Before we get into hot flashes and waistbands, I'd like you to know a little about me, how I ended up on eighty-eight acres of land with more animals than a woman my age should probably have, and why I started writing these letters in the first place. When you have a little time to yourself, find a comfortable spot and read it at your own pace. Somewhere cool, if that's what today calls for. By the time you reach the end, I hope it feels as though you've just spent part of your morning at the kitchen table with a new friend. Warmly, Kelly Life Season Letters
