Today, after Joel and Rebekah were done with their skating training, I took the kids downtown to a park called Acacia Park especially to hear a woman sing. The concert was scheduled to be part of the weekly Farmers Market that takes place at a downtown park every Monday.
The reason I wanted to go is that the woman, who we had met at Chabad, from outer appearances, seemed to be an observant Orthodox Jew. In fact, she had been the person behind the organization of the Chabad Women's Circle events that Annabelle and Rebekah and I had attended for the past year.
Glancing at her Facebook page had revealed to me that she was and is no ordinary observant Jewish woman....in addition to being the mother of 6 children, one who is a Lubavitcher, she is a country western and rock singer, songwriter, and performer!
Now...this person is my kind of person! She has not allowed her very close relationship with G-d to change who she is. The joy G-d gives her radiates out of her too!
We are really excited since her family is going to have us to her house sometime for Havdalah!
