Peace in the Home

This is one of the most important concepts in the Jewish culture, Shalom Bayit is the Hebrew term.  It goes higher than many of the other laws and observances, because when a family is communicating, happy, loving, that is the way the children know life can be.

Today I decided to be a good wife, and was thinking of this concept.  My husband took Eli Tzvi to synagogue, and I stayed home to rest with the baby and my daughter.  I had a few things I wanted to do tonight, it is a new month by the Jewish calendar.  The Jewish Calendar is by the moon, our regular calendar that most of the world goes by is Solar.  It is interesting to me how every culture has their own New Year, Chineese, Persian, and so many others that are celebrated in the communities around America.  So every new Jewish month, there are many celebrations with food and seminars, and I enjoy going to a women's seminar, I love to hear discussions and deeper meanings of the Torah, Old Testament.

Tonight I decided Peace in the Home was the priority.  I have a crazy day tomorrow, a business Seminar all day, then a women's event to promote my businesses, finishing the evening by teaching an 8:30pm Yoga class in my community.

My husband will be with the kids all day tomorrow, so tonight, the things I wanted to do were not the priority.  In my single life it was all about me, I needed many naps, if someone didn't flow with my vibe, see you later!

I put away all the clothes (my husband did the laundry the other day) hung with the baby while he had some errands to run.  I am very blessed, all the domestic stuff is shared, he is the cleaner and I am the organizer.  My kids know exactly which drawers their clothes are in, I am still working on organizing the toys :)

Now the kids are asleep, and we are hanging out, talking about our week, enjoying the quiet.

Thank you God for having Clarity when we really need it,
Challenges make us Stronger,
Effort and Energy are what Relationships are all about,
Coach Yulia
My older kids demand my energy, my baby is easy going, its easy to just enjoy but not give it all, my husband is the one that really deserves all of my energy for everything that he does.  Gwen Stefani said the thing she is most proud of is her 10 year marriage.  The kids are a must, our work we love, but our other half deseves to be treasured, appreciated, listened to, supported, recognized, and unconditionally loved.  Relationships are what life is about.
