Hi jenn, it’s great to have you stop by. We’ll look forward to hearing more from you and your friends and we also encourage you all to consider whether you have some advice to share on Tips, or perhaps some feminine cycle-related stories on Chronicles, or some creative work on Creativity, etc. The more people talk about and respond to the cycle, the more acceptable it will become to do so…
