a lifetime calendar and journal for girls and women of all ages, for chronicling period cycles, menopause symptoms, and other reflections for an abundant life of health and well-being.

The customizable calendars in Twelve Moons enable us to record and honor all that we go through living in our bodies, providing space to notate our experiences during times of transition (such as puberty and adolescence, early adulthood, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum life, pregnancy loss, the menopause transition, and aging) and health challenges (reproductive health disorders, chronic disease, trauma, and medical interventions). Observations can be clues to our changing health needs and alert us to care for ourselves, share valuable information with our family members and medical practitioners, and also serve as meaningful affirmations for the guiding wisdom of our bodies and our intuition.

Twelve Moons is a lifelong companion meant to connect us to our own bodies, rhythms, needs, and sense of well-being. Your entries are like letters to yourself that can help you feel rooted in your innate strength and support your ongoing process of becoming. This is the story of your magnificent body, written by you, where you can feel safe within the pages of your own story.

Who Twelve Moons is For

Twelve Moons was specifically created to include girls and women of every generation:

• Girls beginning puberty or menstruation
• Adolescents and young adults
• Women of every generation (early and middle adulthood, middle age, and women in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond)
• Everyone who menstruates and experiences menopause, identifies with the female experience, or would simply like to use the book to record their body's rhythms, changes, and messages

When to Begin Using Twelve Moons

This book was designed to be entirely customizable for you, based upon when you want to begin recording your cycle, changes, observations, and feelings. This can start now, or you can backdate your cycle by months, years, or decades if you already have records of your monthly observations, including if you are well into menopause or postmenopause.

Features of Twelve Moons

• Guidance on how to use and organize your calendars and journal
• Suggested observations for chronicling your body's changes over the course of your life
• 65 years of monthly calendars to capture the average 38 years of menstruation plus another 25+ years of notations covering both the menopause transition and the years well into postmenopause

You can supplement your calendar pages with a blank book or journal, such as the forthcoming Twelve Moons Companion Journal, or another special one you love.

Twelve Moons makes an excellent gift book for the women and teenage girls in your life. It is an affirmation for growing girls and all of womankind, to encourage and develop the instincts to love our bodies and care about our health and self-care needs, and elevate their importance in our lives. Twelve Moons is a love letter to past, present, and future versions of ourselves.
