Last night I learned of the unexpected passing of

Last night I learned of the unexpected passing of yogi Lesley Fightmaster - @Fightmasteryoga at 50 years of age. I'm 57, to put that in perspective.

I was so shocked and sad that I kept waking up last night thinking about her, and the family she leaves behind. A husband and two boys.

And here's the thing. I never met her in person. But I felt like I had. The news of her death hit me as if I'd learned of the passing of someone I knew in real life.

Six years ago I found her on YouTube and would follow her videos when I needed a guided practice at home that was soothing and uplifting. That was often enough that I knew from what she shared that her husband Duke filmed and edited her videos.

I knew of her children. I knew that, like me, she had battled with depression and anxiety. I knew all that because she shared it. And it all made me feel connected and seen.

That is the power of the digital world.

I'm sure she knew how many millions of people she affected, but she will never know each individual story, because there were just so many of us who she touched.

I read and ponder about death - not in the way of contemplating taking my life - but on a quest to accept it as a part of life. I want to be ready when the time comes - no regrets, no fear, whether it's a sudden passing or after a long illness.

I would love it if you tagged someone in the comments who you only know through social media and who perhaps may not know how much they have touched your life, explaining why.

We really are building community here.

All the love and light to you and yours - Lorraine.

I have a family history of cardiovascular disease.

I have a family history of cardiovascular disease. It has impacted both my parents and me. That’s why I’m taking #TheLegacyWeLead pledge to make heart-healthy changes in my daily life at thelegacywelead.com

Making a heart-healthy change can be as simple as taking a short daily walk with my dog, practicing yoga, or drinking water instead of soda.

I know the steps I take today towards better health will make a positive impact on my future.

If we each pledge to take care of our heart health in small ways, we can help lead a movement that has a lasting impact and leaves a legacy for a healthier future.

Will you join me?

I meditate and medicate.

I will never tell you that ONE thing is the answer for mental health. Not for mine, anyway.

At 57 I´ve not only survived but thrived oh so many challenges. And at this stage I know this is not unique to me. We are all presented with what seem like insurmountable obstacles at various times in life.

A 20-year-long eating disorder (I now also have another 20 years of recovery), clinical depression that was so severe it landed me in the ER at least 2 times that I can remember. My first hard-core bout of depression hit me at 17. I also remember clearly the episodes at 25, 27 and 31. I've had mild episodes after those, and thankfully both science and my own experience helped me find help faster and more efficiently.

Clinical depression is not a bad day. For me it was like my soul was ripped apart. My muscles felt like they would snap. My eyelids were heavy. Waking up in the morning was the worst part of the day. I was one with the mattress.

I tried all the remedies, from lithium salts to Prozac, and of course every holistic method, from crystals to aromatherapy.

What worked in the end?

In my case, the realization that I would forever have to use a combination of practices that include medication (DM me if you want to know what works for me, although this is highly personal), therapy, journaling, sports, and now yoga and meditation.

Lots of people are now dealing with mental health issues and are perhaps feeling alone in their struggle.

Please know the journey to feeling whole again can be long and messy and never-ending. It looks different for each person. It can be a lifelong quest. It is for me.

But in the end what matters is that we don't give up.

Share in the comments if you will, I'm here for it.

#ad Usually, holidays with extended family can mean that we are exposed to foods that we would normally avoid when we know they can trigger heartburn. However, this year is a bit different.

Limited guests and smaller gatherings means that it may be easier to control heartburn triggers and even overindulging. Gotta look on the bright side!

I know this year, my family of four will most likely stay home for the holidays, and either my husband or I will be cooking. I will make sure to cook dishes that I can eat without a care.

In addition to taking Omeprazole Orally Disintegrating Tablets in the morning for 14 days, as a preventative, here are a few tips if you’re attending a gathering in the future:

Show your enthusiasm for foods you can eat carefree.

Serve yourself a small portion of foods that may trigger your frequent heartburn.

Cook and bring a dish you can eat.

Do your best to eat mindfully.

How do you manage heartburn during the holidays?
