I’ve had so many great comments about the scrap and punch card series, that I made another card, only this time I also made it a fancy fold card as well.  I could not remember the name of this card during filming, it’s called a double Z fold card.  Wouldn’t you know that the name came to me as soon as I was done with the video.  Naturally I can include it in the title, but isn’t it nuts how our minds just blank on words?  This issue is another of Mother Nature’s gifts of menopause.  I thought I was losing my mind when it happened to me in the beginning.  But one day I was telling a girlfriend about it and she said, “that’s menopause for you.”  I had no idea that in addition to sweating profusely for no reason and gaining weight, again for no apparent reason, that I would also semi lose my mind.  Thanks, Mother Nature.  You’re a real gem!  Rich can ignore the fact that I can’t remember words, but it is kind of embarrassing when I’m on video or public speaking.  I  interview graduating college seniors at the college I attended so they are better prepared for the real interview process.  I give a seminar before the interviews so they know what to expect and what they need to do to prepare for it.  Inevitably during the seminar, one word will just escape me and I’m floundering for a filler.  Then because of the anxiety, my head starts to feel prickly, the warning sign of an oncoming hot flash.  Could it just be one present?  No, Mother Nature likes her gifts to come in pairs.  Those of you who have experienced this are nodding your heads and those of you who have not are probably saying “I hope this doesn’t happen to me.”  I hope it doesn’t happen to you either, but it probably will.  Remember, it’s a gift.
