Community Power

As I am readjusting back into my wonderful life that I love, as I am detoxing from our insane trip, getting back to work, running my kids all over town in mommy camp, I get a request.  A new family from Russia has moved to town and literally have nothing, my mother in law wants to help and asks me who to go to.  There is an amazing organization called Global Kindness, but it takes time to do the applications, so I decide to go directly to my community of mommies, and all the LA MOMMIES, you know who you are.  Wow, what a response, I am overwhelmed, one amazing woman said it was perfect timing, she wanted to switch all her furniture and is literally giving it all full living and dining room.

I feel really blessed that I married a community, my husband has been in it for over twenty years and since then it has bloomed into a multicultural haven.  Everyone is always contributing, supporting, teaching, networking, and the best part is the word spreads fast, all one has to do is ask.

I had a very secular single life, and I know many people once they get married and have kids, it is a challenge finding new friends in the same circumstances.  All of my husbands friends got married at the same time, lucky me, all of us wives have kids the same age and really click.  Then luckily with my Yoga and Prenatal services, I have met so many wonderful women, and through my children's schools so many amazing families.

On one hand I felt like I had too much on my plate to take on the task of providing and helping a new family, but one question to my community, and now I feel like its easy, and I just need to coordinate, and I am good at that.  Thank you all of you who listened, passed on the info, and had things to donate.  The family is in awe of the kindness and selfless donation.

I am finally ready to head out this Shabbat and dive into the fun social aspect,
I will however send my husband and kids first and enjoy one of my favorite things in the world,
A NAP,
Have a Fabulous Weekend,
Shabbat Shalom,
Coach Yulia

About to put him to sleep before I go get my hair did, visit my mother in law with the kids and then play date all day until its time for Shabbat - LIFE IS GOOD
