What is your character? What makes you tick? In what environment do you operate at your best and happiest? These are really important questions to have balance and quality of life. I always am in awe how with children and all the science out there, you really do not know how the genes or character will come out. They are unique souls, yes which need to be guided and educated, but I feel it is so important to let them express themselves, have a voice, and be allowed to try and fail, and then keep practicing, and succeed. Life is not easy, but the struggle, the work, the challenge, is what makes everything we achieve so much sweeter.
My character is easy going, yet workaholic, and I need a complete balance of fun and work. Luckily I have found myself in a career that feeds my fun, and it actually recharges me for my home life. Many people enjoy their work, but then relax at home. I don't know how its going to be later, but now with 3 little kids, and a relatively new marriage, 5 years, we are all still learning the ropes, and its anything but relaxing. Not boring, for sure, fun, sometimes, I found that I feel relaxed and recharged with adults. It is so important to figure it out for yourself, so even if there is something overwhelming, you know the situation will end, and have something to look forward to.
I work at my children's school a few days a week. Today most of my clients and classes are in the afternoon and evening, so I didn't have any set plans for this morning. I got a call about 45 minutes before my kids had to be in school, and asked if I could work today, someone called in sick. I checked in with my husband, and in that moment we rearranged our whole day. I feel so blessed that both of us have our own businesses, and are able to be super flexible with our schedule. He was able to take the baby, and I could work in the morning, and then go straight to my private client in the afternoon.
It all depends on the choices and lifestyle that we prefer, living in LA is very expensive, but my community is priceless. Yes it would be nice to have more things like a house and more cash flow, but I would not change anything for the time I get to spend with my children. As intense as it is, it makes me so happy that I make them happy. Yesterday I had a Prenatal Yoga class that I was teaching at 8pm, my husband was already in the middle of putting all the kids to sleep. My baby did not take his eyes off me, I was running around, getting my coat and everything I needed for the class. I love that he gets so excited when I am around, and Eli Tzvi and Ziona Sofia know that when I am around its fun and athletic time. Thank God my husband takes care of their baths and meals, its actually quite funny. I am the breakfast person, but then again he makes the best eggs, but for the kids I make them hot cereals, so today I mean oatmeal with raisins and honey, and my daughter says:
"Your are not the cooker!" so I ask her who is and she says "Abba (father in Hebrew)"
Thank God for all of us figuring out our roles in our own unique families, I know that I must have done something so good in my past life to get the perfect match for me. Our second date he cooked for me and I was hooked :)
Delve into YOU,
What makes YOU tick?
Figure out YOU,
and share with me,
I need some adult conversation to recharge for my kids!

| High School in Israel, I was 16 turning 17, it was a semester of my 11th grade of High School, my parents let me go because it was Israel and they wanted me to know my Jewish roots, I had to work to pay for it, I was a bus girl, hated it :) It was so amazing, I am so blessed my parents let me be the free spirit and adventurer that I am, this trip made a big impression on me. So important to let our children be themselves, let their soul sing and dance and play. |
