Why I Blog

My blog has become part of a daily routine for me, when I am busy throughout the day and remember that I forgot, I drop everything and let my thoughts flow.  That is what it's about for me, letting my thoughts flow, and it could be about absolutely anything.  Sometimes it is life events, politics, motherhood, something spiritual that touched me that day, labor and birth to name just a few.

I have been blessed to lead an adventurous, social, and full life.  I have always liked to write my though flow, but until blogging came along, it was not an appropriate or correct way to write.  I have attempted to write a book and a play, but never got the team that I needed to do it in the preferred format.  Only blogging gives me the freedom not to think, to explore, just to be me, and I need this release and exposure, I enjoy having the world see me and my thoughts.  I feel that I have a unique voice that reaches people from all walks of life.

I would like to inspire conversation about labor and birth choices.  I would like to be a comfortable place for all kinds of people to ask about Israel and Jewish questions.  Many may not have any background, and would feel uncomfortable asking.  Right now I am probably the sickest I have been in my whole life, I am unable to work, and it is a struggle to interact with my kids, and do basic things like get them ready in the morning.  My husband has been amazing, I feel bad it is all on him, but I know I am on the road to recovery.  I have always been brutally honest, have nothing to hide, and feel that maybe if I put out there how things really are, maybe other people will have the courage to speak up too.  Maybe there is a mom out there that feels bad taking care of herself, because she has to be there for her family and her work, but what happens if she gets sick, so important to listen to our bodies, get a check up, and take care of ourselves.

I am blessed to have good genes and a healthy, active lifestyle, I really don't know how to be sick. Usually when I feel a little off, I just drink water, eat chicken soup, drink hot tea and honey, and maybe take a throat lozenge.  So this is a foreign feeling to me, but I am happy that I know what it is, and know it is on its way out.

I read recently that journaling is really healthy for our person, it is good to get things out of our heads. For some people it is their private thoughts, but for me it is just thoughts.  Of course I do not use people's names unless I get permission, everything personal on this blog is about me and my family. I guess nowadays people watch reality shows, and the news gives us every details of everyone else's life. I don't feel like my blog is an expose, I feel that it is a woman, wife, mother, and everything else that I am, just being real, and know that many of my readers are my friends.  I know I love knowing what is going on with my friends, and I get to do that through Facebook.  I have said this before, I love that my readers enjoy the blog, but honestly I need to write it, I need the release, I am grateful that people relate, it really feeds my soul.

Have a wonderful day,

not 100% yet, but know I will get there
