My Why

This piece has been a long time coming, but life happens and we sometimes get to things at the time we are supposed to get to them (keep reading, you’ll see what I mean). Back in August, I did a thing that I have been wanting to do for a while now, probably on the list for several years to be honest. If you have ever completed a long standing to-do, or goal, you already know how fulfilling and liberating it feels. Like most budding ideas, I didn’t fully know what it would look like or how it would come alive, but I knew my soul was craving it so I needed to scratch the itch. 

My vision behind Lifted-Deep has been to, first of all create an uplifting community of women, something like a sisterhood. After questioning myself about why I actually felt this urge, I ended up diving deep, and searching in the place where most answers are found...down down down, beneath the surface, and the superficial layers beneath that, down to the darker, scarier core of consciousness. I did not grow up with a sister, although I always wanted one, I did get a little brother that would try to play with my dolls but to no avail (sorry Roman). I did in-fact have an older cousin, Evelyna, who lived in St Louis, MO but since I was in NYC this felt a world away. I went to visit my family there once and they came to us every so often but this always left me unfulfilled and missing them even more when it was time to say goodbye. Finally, when I was 9 years old, my aunt, uncle and cousins (as well as their dog and cat) made the move to NYC. This was the greatest gift I could have imagined, getting my cousins AND two pets was unreal! I can still recall running through their apartment, the smell of fresh paint, the chatter amongst the adults figuring out what to put where, and feeling exstatic, knowing my life was getting fuller now that they were here. 

The year following their move was one of the greatest for me, I had sleepovers with my cousin, spent countless after-school days at their apartment, begging to walk their dog alone (to show my capabilities and earn her trust), listening in on her conversations with friends and boys and even having her tell me the earth-shatering truth about the purpose of pads and tampons!! I felt as if I finally had my big sister, my role model, my all-knowing source for all my pre-teen questions on life... things felt right, perfect, magical.  

This story, unfortunatley, does not have a happy ending; about a year after they moved to New York, my cousin was diagnosed with kidney cancer, which at that point had already spread to her lungs. After surgery, chemo therapy and many trips to Boston Children’s hospital, my family declined any further experimental treatment and she died a few grueling, short months later. At the tender age of 11 I don’t think I was able to fully grasp or understand the level of pain and devastation I was feeling or how deeply it would impact me. I felt for that short period of time I had a big sister, somebody to learn from, borrow clothes, share secrets and do all of the “sisterly things” with that I always wanted; then like a living nightmare, it was all taken away. The time we had together was short, but so deeply gratifying and impactful, and I still hold that year so dear to my heart for all of the memories we did make together. Also, as I stated earlier, I have been working on this post for a little while now, and it is finally completed today... totaly unplanned, (and gave me chills as I just realized) the 23rd anniversary of her death; the timing...wow!

I did not mean to write a post on the death of my cousin, but sometimes, we realize that we are driven due to the hard times, the grief, the challenges we have experienced, and they help us reach for and create light; and that's just the raw truth. It builds us into who we are, inspires us and leads us to create something beautiful; sometimes not even knowing why, unless we really decide to inquire and look in. I have to admit that this experience and desire for girl bonding and sisterhood has stayed with me for decades to come, and is likely THE driving force behind this unyielding desire to form the Lifted-Deep community.

So finally, this past August I got my act together and gathered several amazing ladies to join me in creating a space for women to unit, grow, learn and move. A three hour window that they can take for themselves to appreciate all they are while setting intentions and gaining clarity on what’s next. It was fabulous! I am proud, happy and honored that it came together in complete harmony and perfection, (and I do NOT use that word lightly). 

After the dust settled I found myself questioning what is next? Dave, my husband was egging me on to start thinking about what this dream of mine could continue to manifest itself into, given some fuel, persistence and passion. I took some time to listen to myself and tap into my intuition (the thing that always has all the answers) and the decision was made to continue to see how we can expand this project, and naturally it felt right to create Lifted-Deep II! This time we will be having some new remarkable speakers, and more of the same format, vibe and mission! It will once again be a virtual space where we will come to move our bodies, lift our souls and grow our knowledge, understanding and wisdom of ourselves. All this in order to continue to evolve, and show up stronger and bigger in all areas of our lives. 

This has already been such an incredible opportunity to come together as a community and support each other, and I know it’s only the beginning. Just like last time, if you can’t make it live not to worry! The retreat will be recorded and sent out to via email to all who sign up. Visit www.lifted-deep.com to register and save your spot. It will be taking place on Sunday December 6, 2020 at 12pm ET. This felt like a perfect time to schedule it, because it’s just in time to round out the year, let go of anything that is no longer serving you and step into the next phase, the new year and with some updated and refocused intentions, goals and perspectives. Can’t wait to see you there!

With Gratitude,

Suzanna

What am I supposed to be doing with this time?

This has been a long time coming, but sitting down to gather my thoughts has somehow been an extremely daunting task for me. Almost as if putting them on paper makes them more real and permanent…even though nothing is. This new world might feel so permanent but I know its not…I mean I hope its not…it can’t be right? There will be a new normal that we will all face and begin to accept but it’s still so heartbreaking to not be able to just go outside take a big breath of fresh air and feel like it won’t come back and make me regret it 2 weeks later.

For those of you like me who have small children, I believe we are living in a rose-colored magical nightmare. We don’t know how to feel! *Hint* We just need to feel it all! We are happy to be healthy (if and when we are) we are grateful to be with our children and be able to really BE with them more than we ever dreamed or probably ever wanted haha…but really! We are sad that they can’t attend school in the traditional sense, that they can’t play in the playground or with friends or go on trips. We want to do it all, but now must find a way to do so in the confines of our apartments and homes. We see the weather getting warmer and instantly our minds start creating a to-do list of activities to tactile, places to visit, play dates to schedule, events to attend, and then wait, no scratch that, scratch all of that; summer is canceled. Canceled in the way we planned on, expected to and wanted to spend it. If this pandemic has taught me anything though is that nothing nothing NOTHING is promised to us! We get to seize the day, do the thing, speak your truth, make the move, push the button, scratch the itch… because tomorrow just might not make it on the calendar.

The uncertainty is real, we are all feeling it, we are all unified by it… in case that brings anybody some repose. As humans we get accustomed to a certain way we live, a particular pattern we follow and the usual mundane things we expect. Well, all of that has been ripped out by the roots right now. The things we would do like met up with family or friends, go out to shows, get massages, go out for dinner, who would have imagined such things would not be at our fingertips any longer. I believe it will take a while until we can do these things again without restrictions or thoughts of fear. We will heal from this, as will our children, but it will take time and patience, yet most of us don’t have at least one of those two things (most of us the latter).

I find myself pingponging; as most of the people I speak with. I’m feeling sad today, I’m feeling very optimistic today, I’m not in the mood to do anything, I want to do it all today, I feel like we just need to get through a few more weeks and things will start to improve, this will never go away! Does any of this sound familiar? As a mother I feel like I need to keep it together for my kids and my family as a whole, I feel like I need to be the rock, the pillar of calm, strength, light and most importantly snacks. I would just like to put it out there that we are all feeling these things, in some ways different but in so many ways the same. We are stronger together, in collaboration and self trust.

In my core I am an optimistic woman, I do like to believe in hope, that love will conquer, and that we will come out on the other side new, transformed and more raw than before. Stripped of expectations and demands and more grateful and empathic. I have found myself connecting more to ummm myself! It began because I became anxious with the looming question I kept asking myself, “what should I be doing during this time”? Not that I have an endless amount of time on my hands (I have two toddlers c’mon now) but because I felt like this unique time means something different to everyone and I want to feel like I’m creating what feels right for me. Now that might be me again putting pressure on myself in an irrational way, but I am going with the flow of just connecting to myself everyday and creating. It’s the only way I see myself finding the real answers I seek. I invite anybody reading this to do the same; it’s a powerful journey. It can look like anything to anybody, walking, cooking, exercising, meditating, writing…Its all so healing, calming and reassuring.

I really wanted to write something to 1. Do a brain dump and 2. To reach people who will read it and feel seen, heard and included…because you are!

Till next time, I send you love and peace.

I don’t have an answer, but I love asking the question, and that’s usually where it begins.

Ethans First Surf

Hi there! Ethan is 1! Woohoo what a milestone! I don't know about you, but I like to take birthdays pretty seriously. Dave always makes fun of me but I truly love celebrating a persons date of birth. I mean think about it, its the day your journey began on this earth. I like to imagine what it felt like on that day to the people that welcomed the person being born. What was the weather like, the environment, where did it take place, how long, what was happening in the world on that day, how did word spread about the news, and on and on. Thinking about all these things really makes me appreciate the person, and the day and how all other days accumulated to bring us here, today, again, celebrating and appreciating birth and life...isn’t that a pretty big deal? I think so. 

Well for Ethan I can recall relatively easily because it wasn't all that long ago and I was very much involved haha. He was early, 2 weeks to be exact, we were in NYC, it was cold and the temperature was dropping by the minute (I remember the day after he was born was a polar vortex which was the coldest day of the year). We were so excited, and I felt so huge and wobbly that I couldn’t wait to meet this guy!! I was also in a bit of shock, I felt bittersweet because I was so used to and obsessed with, his older brother, Zack. I could not imagine a world with yet another baby. I was scared and nervous about how this would disrupt the perfect equilibrium we had at the time. Either way, we were about to find out. I’m sure most parents will agree that every time an additional baby is born, it’s an entirely new experience! Yes, the basic steps are the same for the most part, but the emotions, the level of difficulty, the adjustment period, it all varies, each time. I’m not going to lie, I definitely had this imposter type feeling for a bit. Sort of like who is this baby and where is his mother? My brain was so used to knowing and understanding that I had only one child that it took me a little bit of time to actually fully understand that I now have two! Strange, but true. Once reality did hit, so did a boat load of confusing and overwhelming emotions...oh the joys of post-partume, nod if you feel me! Honestly, that topic needs a whole separate post, which I’ll be getting to soon. 

This past year has been a bit of a blur. It all happen so fast, I feel like I need to hit the replay button and appreciate it more. But no, sorry that’s not part of the package dear. It happen, it’s gone and I just hope I took enough photos and videos to last a lifetime because time stops for no one. I hear it way too often and from all types of people. “Savor the moments, be present, appreciate this time, they won’t need you forever”, you know what I'm talking about, you've heard it too.  I know I know I know!!! But yet, I still catch myself checking my phone, checking the time, wanting to put them to bed because how dare I feel tired and want some alone time! It’s true, I feel this at times, and its possible you do too! I still also catch myself sometimes getting caught up in whatever random activity we’re doing and thinking it’s time for bath but ehh what’s another 15 min, I make the rules I can break them!  The point is, both feelings are felt and they are both valid, as well as everything in between.

I didn’t start out this post with the intention of going here but it just sort of happen, so there it is. Mama of two (a 1 year old and a 2 year old, sounds super insane when I say it out load) saying that even though we want to so badly be that perfect human that is focused on the kids when being with the kids, and truly loving every second we have with our little humans because we do know that it’s so fleeting; It is also so majorly ok to just want to put them to bed and just breathe, or drink or take a bath, or all three together :) This child raising thing is hard, and yet we have choosen it, some multiple times! We do it for various reasons but my reason is because I believe that helping mold and shape humans that will benefit this world and bring a little extra good into it makes me feel good about myself (so selfish of me, I know). Cheers! To this journey called parenthood!

Making Memories in Montreal

Happy December, let’s not pretend we love the snow and hurry and get to April 😉 k thanks. Living in Brooklyn, NY it definitely gets bitter cold, but I suddenly felt like I was from the tropics after our visit to Montreal and hearing from some of the locals about what it really feels like when winter arrives up there. We managed to escape at the beginning of November (and witnessed their first snowfall of the season), I’m also shocked we actually pulled this off...without the children! 🤯 This was our first “parents only” getaway in exactly 1 year, and last time I was pregnant so it doesn’t count right?  We got all hands on deck, my parents, my in-laws and nanny came to the rescue for us to leave for close to 72 hours...my god! Who does pick up, drop off, where do they sleep, home or at the grandparents, do we split them up, and the list goes on and on. I feel compelled to share how ahhhmazing and challenging it is to get away for a few days without the kids. Love you boys but mama and Tati (dad in Yiddish) needed some alone time.  

We picked Montréal, because Europe was too far for a long weekend and we wanted a place that felt like we traveled a million miles away without the jetlag. I loved the city! It’s a melting pot of culture, art and food. Do you love to eat? Oh great me too, they have nearly as many restaurants as NYC per square capita, and not gonna lie, it’s overwhelming...I still stay up at night wondering if we made the best restaurant choices, I’ll just never know 😂 

I’ll split it up by neighborhood:

Downtown

We stayed at the Four Seasons hotel, its a relatively brand new hotel and has an indoor pool (which was a must for us, even though we only used it once, wop wop) and a beautiful spa which obviously any mom traveling without her kids would take complete advantage of 💆🏼‍♀️ Their in-house restaurant is Marcus, by the incredible Marcus Samuelsson (if you’re like me and have no idea who this is, it’s fine, I guess we’ve been living under the same rock...neighbor 😉) Dave knew about this apparent rockstar chef and told me that this is his first ever Canadian restaurant...I would highly suggest making reservations a few days in advance (at least), it gets pretty packed. We enjoyed room service one morning because #sleep and had breakfast in the hotel the other two days which was quiet delicious and full of fresh squeezed juice options 😋 

Our hotel was located down the block from Boulevard de Maisonneuve which has tons of shops, restaurants and one of the entrances to the underground mall. It’s bustling and I was really happy with our choice of neighborhood. I was on the fence because Old Montreal has a lot to offer as well, but it was a short Uber ride over. 

Old Montreal

If you get a warm and fuzzy feeling when you see cobblestones then this is the place for you! This is a popular place for many tourists, it’s adorable, and I see what the hype is all about; it has the Old Port, has a charming little tree lined walking road along the water, The Basilique Notre-Dame which is a big attraction and tons of cobblestone streets surrounded with French inspired architecture, hotels, restaurants, cafes, art galleries, shops, I mean you get the picture right? It’s pretty fabulous. I must say though, at times I did feel a bit like a tourist, because certain shops and restaurants we passed seemed how should I say this...inauthentic. I’ve been around Times Square enough to know when I’m in a tourist trap, which I don’t particularly enjoy when traveling or ever lol ... But we did stumble across a few incredible art galleries and a delicious brunch spot called Olive and Gourmando, yummy food and fun atmosphere!

Mile End

We took a great tour in this neighborhood that so much reminded me of parts of Williamsburg, Bushwick and Park Slope. @Localmontrealtours did a great job taking us around and giving our palates a unique experience of flavors. One of my favorite stops was at the St. Viateur Bagel (shocker right, a NY girl excited about bagels) this place has been around forever and is a true staple in Montreal. A few other noteworthy spots were Drogheria Fine, known for their incredible tomato sauce that covers perfectly delicious gnocchi served in a Chinese take out container; funky and indulgent. Additionally, Boucherie Lawrence, which serves local meats and cheeses amongst other things such as various jams and honeys. Dave talked me out of buying about 10 jars of different delightful items in order to avoid shlepping them back to NYC...I’ll be placing an online order soon 🙌🏼

Le Plateau

This is technically a broader neighborhood that consists of several sub neighborhoods; Mile End being one of them, so I would suggest checking it out as well. We specifically made our way there to check out the Jewish Museum and what is considered the area with the greatest Jewish presence and history. We weren’t able to make it on their tour, which I’m secretly pretty bummed about but we did get to wander around the area. It’s a touch of hip, grunge and art. What I loved most is that you feel like you’re a local, no big hotels or tourist traps, you’ll see homes, grocery stores, cafes, etc...you’ll be submerged with the people who live there. 

A great restaurant located in Le Plateau that my girl @arielloves recommended from her visit to Montreal was Au Pied de Cochon, they are known for their foie gras which comes in all different forms and styles. Dave liked the “naked” one and I was obsessed with the “nigiris”. We also decided to try the POUTINE here! Ok so if you don’t know what Poutine is, it’s the traditional comfort food of Montréal...French fries with gravy sauce on top and some places get funky and add other toppings...yes it was yummy, but one time was enough for us, it’s extremely heavy and made me want to jog home, but hey worth a try and to each their own. 

Speaking of jogging, I usually make it a priority to check out some gyms or outdoor fitness areas on all my trips, but full disclaimer this did NOT happen this time 🤷‍♀️ I won’t even try to dig up an excuse, just was focused on sleep before and after our excursions haha #priorities. Not gonna beat myself up about it (even though TBH I started to a few times) but I’ll be on it again next time 💪🏽

Extras 

One of our mornings we decided to be outdoorsy and “hike up” Mont Royal aka realizing how cold it was we took an Uber up and a bus down 🤷‍♀️ whatevs, we did spend some time up there breathing the crisp air and enjoying the view. A cute place to check out if you’re into “look out point” type of stuff. 

We also went to a hockey game duhhh! We watched the Montreal Canadians play the LA Kings. It was a real cultural experience, something that Dave and I love participating in whenever we travel anywhere. If you’re like us and you like to just do things and go to places that make you feel like you’re one of the locals I would highly recommend going to see a hockey game when visiting, its like going to see a Yankees game in NYC, authentic and exciting 🏒 

The Low Down 

All in all, we had fun, but I do want to touch upon something that is real and deserves a moment just like all the other mentions. Shit’s not perfect! Dave and I have somewhat of a different view on how we should “plan” our trips. I typically like to have an agenda ready to roll and he likes to wing it. We discovered this about ourselves a few years ago, yet perhaps since we didn’t go away alone for a while we kind of forgot how to handle it. As a couple it’s not always unicorns and lattes (well there are usually lattes involved with us 😉) but we get to make it work because that’s what we signed up for! After a day of on and off arguing, we decided that moving forward I need to have my “planned activity” happen first and then I’ll be much more willing to hang loose and flow, not freaking out that we don’t have a specific destination (this only took us 6+ years to establish #couplegoals 🤣). I’ll be keeping you posted on how that plays out for our next trip! I heard something the other day when listening to a clip from @garyvee, he said we are all being fake and how when we get back from a vacation we tell everyone that we had a great time (usually regardless of what kind of time we actually had). I found that to be insanely insightful and it struck a chord with me. I believe it’s important to acknowledge both the great times and the times of struggle. They are equally important to process and learn from. I hope you enjoyed my recap and found it helpful for your future trip. I would love to hear from you and get some of your feedback! Till next time fam; Stay living on those skinny branches! 

-Love,

A new day

Hello boys and girls! I’m so happy you stopped by my little corner of the internet world. Grab a coffee, sit down and put your feet up, let’s get to know each other better. I’m Suzanna, I’ve always had a hard time boxing myself up into a cute package of who I am and what I’m about; I just feel like I represent so much! I’m now a mom of two adorable and funny boys, Zack and Ethan, married to Dave my soulmate, I am a Speech Language Pathologist, but also split my time juggling several different interests that have also turned into somewhat career paths (Pilates and Newborn Photography). Oh yea! I also manage our house up in Beacon, NY which we like to rent out most of the time when we aren't there. I can keep going but I think that might be enough for now. I believe I have alwayyyssss had lots of interests and a hard time narrowing my mind down into one path. I have always loved to write and tell stories (maybe I should have majored in English...) but also have more than once referred to myself as Jack of all trades...which is how I came up with the name for my blog, yet I felt like I’m more of a Queen (a. Im a woman and b. I would like to believe I'm more knowledgable than just a jack haha) and I wouldn't say ALL trades, but let’s say most...for now. That's who I am in a nutshell, I strive to grow each day in as many ways as possible and remind myself to just put one foot in front of the other, keep the pace and just don't stop, even when I can't see a clear picture of the destination just yet, my motto is to just trust the process. 

My vision is to create a place where I can provide knowledge, hope, inspiration, sisterhood and a sense of community. I know as women, moms, wives, bosses, etc we have lots on our plates, yet sometimes we don't feel full. Like something is still missing in our lives and it tends to come in the form of judgment. We and society as a whole judge ourselves and each other and I’m here to remind myself (first of all) and everyone who visits me here that we are enough! It’s the truth, and I’v noticed that when I catch myself forgetting this truth and pour it over myself again I feel refreshed, whole and happy. And in the end (and the beginning) happiness is the ultimate goal in this game of life. 

Drop me a line, introducing yourself, and follow me to catch the next blog post, I’ll be talking about travel, dare I say it, WITHOUT the kids...we managed to sneak away for a long weekend to Montreal, and it was delightful...the sleeping I mean, oh and the city was nice too ;) Catch ya soon and happy Thanksgiving!

Warmly,

Suzanna Gersh

Here’s a few family shots of us, up here we visited Weeds Orchards up near our house in Beacon, NY when we finally managed to get our act together and go up there for a family weekend to see the fall foliage...so worth the trip! If you’re ever in the area and need a place to stay, check us out 

https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/36271688?s=67&shared_item_type=1&virality_entry_point=1&sharer_id=272795804

The middle photo here we were playing with our water table on a hot summer day, just hanging on our balcony, keeping it mellow and local...as much as I start to get anxious about “not doing anything” Dave always calls me out on it and reminds me that we need to just chill at times as well...so true it is.

Down here we were celebrating my dads birthday party at a Russian restaurant in Sheepshead bay, Brooklyn. We’re from Ukraine and my family loves celebrating all occasions in places that serve the traditional food we’re used to. All four of us are looking into the camera, which is a rare sighting and worth posting for all to see!
