Glass Ceiling

This week's best laugh came when I read the following, from a 50-something blogger's experience of hitting menopause and the glass ceiling at the same time:
It was clear to everyone but me that I could go no further in my career without a penis of my very own. I confess I had considered buying one and just putting it on the table in front of me when attending meetings in conference rooms or possibly displaying my purchased penis prominently in my office, but good judgment got the better of me.

Hi Sage, What a surprise to find you here! Someone suggested that I try the "Goddess Oracle" so I looked it up and I found your site and your blog! I had no idea you did all this as well as Matrifocus!
I love this comment - it is so true and the glass ceiling is so transparent, so to speak, but yet so few people recognize or acknowledge it exists. The question is always -- do I continue to work where I do because I love the people I serve and the community of women who also work there or do I leave in protest. I still haven't answered that one.
I'm off to try your oracle -- it is the New Year, after all!
What a fantastic quote. I haven't laughed so much in a long time-- thank you.
A belated thanks to all of you for sharing the fun and brilliance and truth of menopausal woman's reality.
I'm laughing all over again. I can just see that purchased penis on the table in front of laptops and briefcases!
