The Only "Monthly Arrival" You Can Count on in MidLife!
March 2008
Vol. 8 Issue 3

Dear Minnie Pauz Fans,

Recently, in a candid conversation with a relative, I was told that their opinion of me was that I only helped out when it was convenient for me. I was shocked since I always offer before someone has to ask for help and always give whatever I have. I spent a few days feeling pretty sad that I was being misunderstood and underappreciated. Then I heard something Dr. Phil said to one of his guests......."What you think of me is none of my business!" Wow, that was an "aha" moment for me. I realized I have been spending too much time worrying about making everyone else happy, not wanting them to be upset with me, trying to make up for past mistakes and thinking I was doing a pretty good job. Evidently, their opinion of me is quite different than my own, but why was their opinion more important than mine? The only thing I've been doing is feeding into the negativity that for some people just won't go away. 

Hearing the statement above erased the negative feelings completely! I'm not responsible for how other people feel, especially if I am doing what I feel is a good job, from the heart and with love. People, we each know when we're not doing the right thing. We know when we're being selfish or inconsiderate. If someone else is telling you that you're selfish or unfair or that you're not doing enough, why do we believe them when we know in our hearts that it's not true? It's especially hard (and hurtful) when it's someone very close to you, but if you remind yourself that who you are comes from within you, NOT from what someone else thinks of you, you will be free of so much torment. So stop letting family members put out your spark! Just go on doing what you feel is right. I guess there will always be people who are trying to bring you down, don't let it happen to you no matter WHO it is! 

Have you found yourself feeling stronger about your instincts? What about not putting up with any unreasonable demands or letting anyone use guilt as a weapon? Send me your comments about how you feel menopause has freed you to trust and know who you are! What was your own "Aha! Minnie Moment" that you can share with others who may not have reached that point yet.

I know I've mentioned several times that the advertisers on my site, in this newsletter and on the forum help keep all 3 of these free to you. Many support sites require membership fees or subscription fees, but for the last 10 years everything at Minnie Pauz is free for your enjoyment and information. Please take a moment to look at what they are offering....it may be for your benefit. Maybe it's something that you don't need right now, but I'm asking you to take the time to click on the ads and review the offers. Thank you so much!

This is the best place to advertise if you have a product for women in midlife. If you are advertising somewhere else, do they get over 1/2 million hits per month? Where are they in the 25,900,000 results on Google (in a search for menopause)? If not, you may be wasting your $$$. Contact Dee about special advertising packages. If your company would like to Sponsor this newsletter or the Minnie Pauz website, contact Dee Adams for details.
There is a huge difference between a new product and a breakthrough. Whereas new is often just an improved or re-packaged version of the old, breakthroughs really do transform our lives. Enter Coupon MP2008 to save 20%!!

Amberen is a genuine breakthrough that changes how women go through menopause. Amberen relieves most menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings, fatigue, anxiety, and loss of libido, without any known side effects. Amberen gently reawakens the body's neuroendocrine system, which controls production and balancing of hormones. It's not replacement. It's rejuvenation from within. That's the gift of Amberen

Start your Amberen experience here and enter coupon MP2008 at checkout to redeem 20% special discount for Minnie Pauz subscribers.


Please take the time to look at all the great products I have created especially to help support the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. For every item sold, $5 (my profit) will be sent to the Foundation. Dr. Love has dedicated her life to finding a cure for cancer and I feel so strongly that she will be the one to do it. Let's all show our support.

Read more about her work here and take a few moments to purchase at least one item for the cause. There are magnets, coffee mugs, tshirts, tote bags and even a cute teddy bear with it's own tshirt supporting breast cancer research. I think this would be a comforting gift for someone who is dealing with breast cancer. 



If your company will be exhibiting at 2008 ACOG ACM or NAMS, consider taking Minnie Pauz with you for a different approach to discussing women's health. It's a whole new world! Have some FUN! Contact for details.
