A Personal Journey Through Perimenopause: Embracing Change
Author: lauraLin
I am the mother of three, Concord University alumna, over Youth Services at a local library, and weekend pharmacy technician.
I have self-published two books - In Death There is Life, and A Day at The Fire Department - and have recently signed with a publisher for my third book - Routines. I love to write as it allows me to live vicariously through my characters in a world that is of my imagining.
In addition to writing, I enjoy photography, hiking, and spending time with my family.

Disc Cleanup
Humans are not robots. We are not designed to go non-stop 24/7. Even machines cannot do this. They have to be shut-down periodically for updates, they overheat, parts wear out, and they freeze up. If machines do this, why on earth would society think humans will not?
