"59 feels just fine!
I have nothing but gratitude for being granted the privilege of
another birthday. I carry in my heart and memories, my beloved friends
who will never turn this age. I miss them dearly.
This year was a bit tough in some ways, including physically, so there
is no extreme yoga pose picture (maybe in a month or two, hehe). Turns
out I have arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis/tendinosis (one of each
lol) in my shoulders.
I'm slowly recovering thanks to a great chiropractor and PT exercises.
I have not stopped being active, but I've had to get creative to keep
moving without injuring myself further.
My relationship with yoga is even deeper now and it goes way beyond
any physical pose. A yogic approach to life has helped me deal with
constant pain and some physical limitations for many months.
That said, I've taken up dancing and rollerblading again, I've dabbled
in reformer Pilates and I swim in our little pool, I'm also back to
paddleboarding and SUP yoga (with modifications) and recently I was
able to spend a whole day in silence and meditation at Heartwood Yoga
Retreat Center.
Work is great, no complaints there - my project Viva Fifty! which I
launched at 50, is thriving to the point that Phil is now devoted
solely to writing books and working with me. We make a great team if I
may say so. :-D
Life is messy, it's complicated, and it has its ups and downs, but it
also provides opportunities for growth and betterment and for figuring
out ways to better be of service.
Thank you to absolutely everyone who is a part of my life in any way,
big or small. I really am excited that hopefully, I get to plan an
exciting 60th, because according to the fabulous women I know who are
already that age and beyond, 60 looks extremely promising!" @lorrainecladish
