Is this your last Midweek MoJo? ??

How's your MoJo? this week??

The weather in the UK is still pants ?? so this year we planned our holiday at the right time & have had a massive boost from:

?? sun, good food, speaking Italian, time with Tim, exploring Italy by train

??? literally writing this from the beach

?? heaps of encouragement after last week's email about appreciating my body after years being unkind to her…

Thankfully that's a past history story because here I am, enjoying the beaches of Italy in bikinis ?? and I have to say it feels flipping fantastic.

I'm just glad I'm not a celeb who constantly faces judgment and zoomed-in highlights of their wobbly bits. Even Robbie Williams had a backlash for being 'too thin' this week … anyone remember the harsh comments about him being too fat? The only way we 'win' is to accept ourselves and love ourselves (& others!) better.?

The PS has a new midlife menopause holiday tip - I learned the hard way!

Whatever you do - do it with all your heart. ??

I absolutely love our weekly chats.? It's a passion project & sharing moments of my real-life midlife helps me keep my own MoJo on track. Hopefully there's a smile, something I've learned and a silver lining.

I always imagine I'm writing a personal message to a friend - so am blown away that this article has now landed?over 120,000 times?in inboxes since starting just a few months ago.

I really LOVE … ??

* writing & sharing with you & the messages we send each other

* sprinkling your inbox with a bit of hope & joy - so we recognise that what we're not alone

I'm pretty sure you also have a full life with a full inbox to match, so here's what my heart is telling me:

• you deserve the best of me & sometimes writing this has been a bit last minute
• your time is precious & I'm grateful for every single time you open and read this
• the reason you're reading now is likely because it's still relevant and?interesting (or we're related!! ??) - and I want to keep it that way!

I've decided to make a little change and hope you'll agree.

*I feel it's time to switch our MidWEEK MoJo to a MidMONTH MoJo!?

Do you agree??*

You don't need to do anything - I'll just be popping by to say hello once a month now instead of every week.

I do my very best to answer every single message personally and I'll still be right here for you. Your MoJo will always be free, fun & from the heart.

If you are curious about my work with?The Enneagram?& why it's such a powerful resource for personal and business growth, I'll send a taster message in a week or two … and promise to make it easy for you to choose if you want to hear more (or not!).

Keep shining - trust that your mind, body and heart are working FOR you.?Keep showing up wholeheartedly & whatever you do, do it with all your heart with all your mind and wear the freaking bikini!

Look forward to seeing you soon - thanks for understanding and I can't wait for our next chat!

Love,?

Joanne

PS - where are my peri/meno midlifers?? If you're heading to the beach and use oestrogen gel HRT - give yourself plenty of time for it to soak in! Or you may find the alcohol base is sensitive to the sun … red patches on my upper thighs aren't my best ever look! And yes, I was wearing high SPF ?? You're welcome. ??
