Lucky

Not too long ago when I was visiting a good friend in LA and dining at my beloved Katsuya sushi, a stranger walked up to our table and marveled at Taji sitting in his highchair. She sparked up a conversation with me and before she left she told me something that really stuck with me since. Right before leaving she looked genuinely into my eyes and said, "You are so lucky." Lucky. I have definitely known I am but its very different when someone on the outside looking into your life states this. It exceeded a compliment. I, we, feel tremendously lucky to have a healthy and happy Taji in our lives. I feel lucky to have found the love of my life, traveled the world with him, and just as everything happens in its own perfect timing, right after we settled down, our little baby entered into this world and changed our lives for the better as we know it. Lucky. I feel so grateful to my hard-working husband to live in a beautiful home by the ocean, and for all the fun things we are able to do. And just as one door of happiness closes, another door of even more happiness opens...... I feel lucky that I have been given the choice to be a stay-at-home mom. Being a mother is the most important job I will ever have and since babies are only babies for a small period of time, I am embracing this opportunity to dedicate myself to my family and relish the moments that make my heart sing with joy. Lucky. Everything happens for a reason, the timing couldn't be more perfect. I can't wait to take mommy & me classes with Taj, have more time to cook, follow my creative outlets, and take on little projects coming up (planning dinner parties, playdates, a friend's bachelorette party, birthdays, trips....etc.) My career will always be waiting for me to come back to, however, this is one shot I get at being the best mother i have always dreampt to be. Stay tuned for another blog that will follow the adventures of a stay-at-home mom LOL, soon after we get back from our summer in NY! Life is good. Life has been very good to me. I'm not a religious person, but I am spiritual in my own way, and I feel that each experience in every stage of my life is meant to be and continously helps me grow and evolve.
