Hello,

Welcome to NOT this week's newsletter!

Hope you've had a good week. We've had a wonderful one, full of friends and family, celebrations, cake and nature. 

It's left me on the floor where energy levels are concerned though. I'm in the middle of an intense bleed too.

So, I'm going to write a proper email for you early next week. 

And for now, I'm just going to share this manifesto, taken from [**Wise Power**](https://www.redschool.net/product/wisepower?ref=thegreenparent.co.uk) by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo-Wurlitzer, for women in their 40s, moving towards menopause. 

I think could be a useful tool for moontime too!

I've tweaked it a little and written it out to have on the fridge as a daily reminder.

I'm leaning on points 1, 2, 3, 7 and 9 to postpone writing a newsletter tonight. When I've regained my mojo levels, I'll send you a proper newsy missive.

Til then...

Happy, restful weekend and lots of love,

Melissa
