Here is a snippet: "Inch by inch and row by row, gonna make this garden grow. All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground. Inch by inch and row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow. And someone warm them from below, till the rain comes tumblin' down." When you plant seeds of positivity you are much better prepared for the inevitable rain. Thanks for planting those seeds, Leanne.

Midlife has become a new way for us as women to rediscover how we can live our lives, and by changing the focus to see things in a positive light rather than negative.
