Wide Awake

This past Sunday was nuts, it was a non stop day of events, so much going on, parades, weddings, hair cutting ceremonies, birthdays, and bonfires.  I had to do as much as possible, I was so enjoying this day of excess.  My kids go to Gan Chabad, and they had the kids marching in the parade and blowing whistles.  I didn't realize that baby and I were joining, and when nobody wanted to be in the front, I said why not.  I am quite the exhbitionist and love being the center of attention, and I love being a leader.  Now I usually enjoy letting others take the lead and the floor, there are so many amazing people to learn from in my community.  I suppose this was my time to shine, and shine I did, whistling away, this picture just totally captures the moment.  The day was so hot, the entertainment was awesome, and then we marched, continued on to a birthday party, and then I left the baby with my husband and took Eli Tzvi and Ziona Sofia to a bonfire on the beach.  Why not? When would they get to experience something like this at their age, got to live it up!

I really love the adrenaline of life, of reality, of the moment, it is so powerful to be present, and now I get to live on that high of life as a Doula.  It is so powerful to drop everything and support a woman through one of the most important experiences of her life.  Whether its at her bedside or keeping her head free of worry by being at her home with her kids.  Thank God my husband just says, GO, and totally supports this high that I crave and that is honestly better than any other high that I have ever experienced.  It is all such a miracle, and my mind is just boggled.  I was thinking now that I am a Doula, through my experiences with my clients and friends, my brain can maybe start to understand how it all works, to make sense of the miracle that really makes no sense, it is just out of this world, how people and life is created, no science can explain nothing into something, it is just so powerful.  Maybe by being a part of the miracle will help me to tune into the energy of it, even after three babies, I still cannot comprehend the grandness of it all.

I also feel blessed to tune into the energy in my Yoga, Mat Pilates, and Prenatal Yoga classes, we all walk away from it feeling recharged, positive, and relaxed at the same time.  I feel so blessed that this is my life's work, building relationships, and figuring out together how to support each other, figuring out each individual's way to stay fit and healthy.  There is not one way, there is no perfect way, there is just your way.

Life is Beautiful,
