Every woman should celebrate what makes her a woman!

I had no such ceremony, I think it would've embarassed my mother. She thinks such things are silly. But I see "the curse" as not simply something that beckons young girls into womanhood, but also is the source of our powers as a female being. I will definitely be giving my daughter a menarche ceremony...she's only 8, but I know it's coming up fast.
I'm planning something small, just the two of us, and I've decided to give her a gift that has meaning. It's a small trinket (won't be describing it, kind of personal!) that was given to me when I was pregnant with her. I want her to understand the gift she's been given...the ability to create life and the wisdom to know how to use it. I think this trinket is the perfect expression of that.
