Oh BABY!



 

Her name is Eden Alivia. 

 

Her parents are fellow church members and when I mentioned that seeing a baby being born was on my bucket list they offered to allow me to be there during their joyous occasion. 
 
 

I had someone made the comment that if I had a child I saw one being born.  That didn’t happen.  I couldn’t see anything.  I simply felt the experience. 

How did I feel??

Humbled – that someone would share such a blessed event with me

Awe – the experience was beautiful and magical

BLESSED – how can anyone witness a childbirth and not know there is a God?

Connected – Sure you can buy something for a baby or a mom or make some food for the family, but to be in the room during the birth, wow, what a connection.  This family already had a special place in my life and now we are connected even more.                          

 


This is me with Eden and Eden's Mom Destiny. P.S. Destiny looked beautiful after Eden was born (as always. I looked like I had run a marathon after having Christian...
 
Thank you Chris and Destiny for sharing such a special time with ya'll!  All my Love!!!!

Why -Bucket List Living NOW?

This is the short answer -

Several years ago my sister and I went sky diving. A day later I visited my FIL who was fighting cancer at the time and I told him what I had just done, his reply - "I always wanted to do that and now I never will get to." Why do we wait until the end of our lives to start living our dreams? And doing the things we want to do? I'm done waiting on something else to happen before I choose ME - I'm bucket list living NOW!



Please join my adventure! If you wait, you WON'T!
