Oh, my, this week did NOT go as planned.

After my "curled up on the bathroom floor" picture 3 frames back, the messes just kept adding up. Sometimes the messes were just in my head, mind you.

I had ambitious goals for this week and boy did I fail to meet them, day in day out.

Yesterday I succumbed to a day-long headache that had me in bed most of the time.

I meditated, I chilled, I napped, I took Advil in the end.

I did feel better but wiped out at the very end of the day.

Then I had COVID dreams again. Being in public places where nobody is wearing a mask, including myself.

I'm learning that the real yoga is sitting with brain fog, with exhaustion, with frustration, and not trying to numb it.

My eating disorder when I was younger, where I used food as a drug - binging until I just couldn't fit another bite and then purging (not very glamorous, I know), sometimes in PUBLIC restrooms, yuck, ... was a way to escape reality, to escape feelings, to numb myself. I don’t need that unhealthy crutch anymore.

This photo was taken in between asana poses. My daughter and hubs were either laughing bc I fell out of a pose or because they were afraid I would ... I can't remember.

I kept the picture because it reminds me of how I'm now able to laugh at my own missteps. I can sit with discomfort.

I hope I never lose this ability.

How did YOUR week go? Were you able to sit with your feelings?

Sending you all the love for the weekend.

#ad I’ve described many times the changes I went

#ad I’ve described many times the changes I went through, courtesy of menopause, and how I dealt with it. Supplements, HRT and lots of yoga are still my go-tos for symptom relief

Please know that whether your menopause is a walk in the park or, like mine, a rough and bumpy road, you are not alone!

Most of my life I’ve enjoyed a good head of hair and, especially now at 57, I do not take it for granted.

One thing has changed over the years, however. After menopause, my hair is way more porous. And since I’m now letting my roots go gray, I can only imagine that the gray and silver strands are going to be even more porous.

Right before taking these pictures, I washed and styled my hair with the @hair.biology Moisturizing Collection. Swipe to see my favorites: Argan Oil Taming Serum, Multitasking Hairspray, and Deep Hydration Mask.

Sometimes I dry my hair with a diffuser, to get a more natural look. This time I used a 1” curling wand.

Have you noticed any changes in your hair due to menopause?

You should try the Hair Biology products! I hope they work for you as well as they do for me! I also have a unique promo code for 20% off of one product from now until noon on Friday just for you! Head to the link in my bio and use code: LorraineHB20 Happy shopping!

I must have been around 6 or 7 years old, in Madri

I must have been around 6 or 7 years old, in Madrid, Spain. I was called to the school office because of a "family emergency." My sister @lauralcb , 2 years younger, was called too. I thought something bad happened.

Nope. My abuelita and my dad @carbonelldelfin had packed snacks and took us to the new amusement park in Madrid during a school day. I will never ever forget that! A memorable day if there ever was one.

My dad worked really really hard, and at night, my sister and I would get all excited when we heard his footsteps coming up the stairs! That meant he would come and sing to us or tell us stories, or cast shadows on the wall. Abuelita would get upset, lol, because it took her forever to put us to bed.

I was bullied in school, a LOT as a kid, and I begged my dad to pull me out. He did. For a few months when I was 8, my sister and I had a private teacher with whom we learned all kinds of things we would not have learned in school.

I still have a couple of the books I studied with. He sacrificed a lot to then enroll us in an international school where we got a bilingual education I am thankful for to this day.

Yoga and running? He introduced me to both! I was only 12 or 13. And boy has that served me well over the years.

And writing ... I'm a writer because of my dad and his father. I grew up watching them both write and publish, and I just thought that was normal. My father did not want me to be a writer. Sorry! 😂

Laura and I spent weekends collating books at the printing press my father and my grandfather had. To this day, the smell of paper and ink is mesmerizing.

Well, all this to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my fabulous father!

Swipe for more photos. :-D
