Celebrating my 56th birthday with fallen angel pose

Celebrating my 56th birthday with fallen angel pose

This is my version of 56. I turned this age on August 25. In the past year, I have lost dear friends to cancer, like beautiful Belinda. She was younger than me and all she wanted was to grow old and see her kids grow up. I miss her dearly. This was my first birthday without her yearly greeting. I also have way too many friends battling disease.

I feel I would be doing life a disservice by not squeezing the heck out of it. And with my good days and bad days, a lifetime of challenges faced and overcome, for as long as I have a body that is able to do stuff like this, I will. For as long as I have a mind that is sharp, I will use it. For as long as I am aware, I will work to improve my soul.

I learned fallen angel pose just so I could take this photo. Thanks to my husband Phillippe Diederich for taking it.

And thanks to my dad Delfín Carbonell  for bringing me into this world (with my mother’s help) and introducing me to sports, yoga, meditation, writing and being curious and open minded.

Several people have said congratulations for my birthday and truly, at this point another birthday IS a reason to congratulate. Life is uncertain at best.

I’m not going to waste whatever is left of mine. I hope you don’t either!

Thank you for following my journey and sharing yours with me!

At 56 I have already lost dear friends to cancer and other illnesses. In their honor, this year I learned fallen angel for my birthday photo. #yoga #fallenangel #over50

Yoga & Wellness

I'm Lorraine C. Ladish, bilingual writer, mom, wife & yogi. I started my yoga & wellness journey at 12, with a book by Richard Hittleman. I have a huge flaw, an addictive and compulsive personality. In the long run, this turned out to be my biggest asset. I learned to channel it into leading a creative and productive life. At 58, I'm committed to sharing my journey to inspire others to channel their flaws into positive things and achieve greatness.
