Recently, my daughter told me that she is expecting a baby. This will be my first grandchild, so needless to say, I was happy...."OH MY GOD!!!!! YOU'RE HAVING A BABY?!?!" was my understated reaction. I then, like many grandmothers before me, started to plan the baby shower. Trust me, this is nothing new for me. Hell, I remember the day she was born and the doctor said, "congratulations, you have a healthy baby girl"
My reaction? "Ohhhhh, she will look so beautiful on her wedding day."
Anyways, when my daughter told me, I asked her when I could start sharing the news and she told me I couldn't post on FB.....I of course, respect her wishes so I did not post on FB. I sent private messages to my friends and family. See? total respect.
So, yeah, I'm going to be a grandma. I have to admit, I always figured I would be 50 or so when my first grandchild would arrive. At least, that was the plan....plans, of course, don't mean much when the universe decides to act.
This child is such a blessing, to both sides of my daughters family and we are, of course, all very excited.
I'm already looking at Ugg boots.
A blog documenting my life, school, family, work and my conversion process. This should be fun.

Paths....
Life is a funny thing. We all come into this world in pretty much the same way and our parents see our paths as something they set us on.
We grow, we learn and we experience things that may lead us to chose a different path than we had originally been set upon.
Eventually, once we become adults, we settle into this idea that we are on the path we are supposed to be on and we go merrily along.
Sometimes, something profound happens in our lives and we realize that the path we are on and that we believed was the right one is, in fact, one we need to get off of.
I am on a new path....don't get me wrong, I am still Jewish, still a believer. I am also a Shaman in training.....I have chosen to follow the calling to the shamanic work.
I know that this is true and right and what is meant to be. I am excited to be here, it is an adventure that I am so excited about. I cannot wait to see where this path takes me.
