Hello my friends,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  My weekend was just full of energy, people and life.  Those types of weekends can get really exhausting, especially to a pregnant wife, but I always get so much energy from being around people that I rarely feel it.  My wife and I recently found out that she is pregnant and it has been such a great journey.  Just a few days ago, I actually felt our new baby kick for the first time and it just blew my mind.  But even before I could physically feel him kick, I felt his energy from the moment we found out.

We decided to start trying because we both always wanted to be parents.  My wife was a bit nervous and cautious about the timing because unlike social media where you hear the “best of everyone’s lives”, when you are trying, people tell you the horror stories.  The mind is a fickle beast, and once my wife started to think about all the negatives, that was all she was thinking about.  I was focused on the positive, knowing that in due time the universe will provide and things will work out, and it so happened in the first month things worked out.  I actually had a dream that she was pregnant the night before we found out, I could feel the energy changing in my life and the baby was exactly that.

It is hard to describe the feeling I felt knowing that I am going to be a dad.  First, the energy that a baby brings is something that is hard to describe.  Being around children, and being a big child myself, I just love to the fact that they just “observe” the world with no ego.  However, I was not sure what to expect when the baby was just in the womb, and all that I can feel is just pure energy.  That energy has brought so much happiness and extra goodness to our lives and has pushed my journey even further along.  There is even more focus on the now, especially since I will not be sleeping in a few months haha…I can feel the energy that is being formed in my wife’s body and it is truly amazing.  Second, I cannot wait to provide a world of no “ego” for my child, where they can soar to the highest mountains and just truly look at themselves for who they are.  Given my history, I cannot wait to bring a world of no judgement to my child (at least from my perspective).

The new child has brought new energy to my life, an energy source of pure beauty.  My friend Jacob and I were talking the other day about pregnancy and children, and he said it was “magic” the two times he went through it.  Things played out in his life that he did not expect (for the better), and the only way he could describe why was just Magic.  I think that is perfect and exactly how I would describe it…having a new child is energy and brings magic to my life.  I cannot wait to spend the days watching as he observes the world for the first time…those moments will also be magic, but for now I am happy with the energy he brings at this moment.  I hope to share this magic and energy with you all.  My next post will be on gratitude and the power of being grateful in any circumstance. Love you all and the universe will provide, so enjoy the moment that is present, and live that to all its glory!
