20 Random Facts about Elizabeth Luke
As professional doulas we spend a good bit of time getting to know families we work with. In honor of World Doula Week, we thought it would be fun to share some totally random facts about our doulas with all of you!
This week we are featuring Elizabeth Luke. Most of you know Elizabeth as the owner of The Jax Baby Company, but here are some things you probably don’t know about her:
1. Some of my bucket list items include: visit a legit nude beach (nude of course), wedding crash (but only for fun, nothing destructive or hurtful), complete a section hike of the Appalachian Trail (working on that), convert a school bus into a tiny house and travel for one year!
2. I love to float it’s super relaxing!
Free-float! That would be floating without the use of a floatation device. Also known to some as therapeutic floating. Sometimes I meditate while floating and I’ve been known to fall asleep while floating. My absolute favorite place to float is Ichetucknee Springs.
3. I enjoy a wide variety of music.
Some of my favorite artists include Jewel, Dido, Pink, Sublime, Linkin Park, Tool, AC/DC, Metallica, Elton John, and Garth Brooks. My sympathetic nervous system is especially sensitive to music. Sometimes I get goosebumps, cry, or both.
4. My favorite color is green. Purple and indigo are right behind green!
5. I can touch my nose with my tongue, but not my tongue to my elbow, lol!
6. My Zodiac sign is Cancer and I really can’t imagine ever living in a place where I am not close to water!
7. Born and raised in the south, but the only tea I like is kombucha. #truth
8. Two places I want to visit are Alaska and Ireland. I want to see castles, countryside, and the northern lights!
9. My favorite dessert is cheesecake with just about any good topping. I’m really not a picky eater!
10. I was once a beekeeper and LOVED it!
11. I own less than 10 pairs of shoes. Yes, total!
12. One instrument I would love to learn to play is a guitar.
13. Elizabeth loves deep sea fishing with her husband, garlic, and lavender. Not necessarily together!
14. Elizabeth once saran-wrapped one of her teenagers to his mattress (no names shared) when he was asleep on the floor!
Mommy Dearest? No! Practical jokester? Absolutely!
He had company over and put his mattress on the floor in the living room. When he passed out first she and her accomplices wrapped him from the chest to the feet. Good times! They laughed extensively. He awoke to go to the bathroom and what happens next she swore she’d never tell!
15. I thoroughly enjoy cooking!
16. Eggplant parmesan and porterhouse steak on the grill are my specialties.
17. What her 35-year-old self would tell her 15-year-old self:
Enjoy your youth, slow down. Be nicer to your mother. Learn to love yourself first. Always trust your intuition! Start a daily exercise routine and eat better! Laugh every chance you get, especially at yourself! Learn to say no with confidence, without apology, and without explanation.
18. I was almost named Sarah.
19. I’ve only flown once in my life!
20. When I was about 10 years old I competed in a biscuit eating contest and won!
Our lives are so uniquely us! It’s not what happens to us, but how we decide to handle what we’ve been dealt that matters. Smile! Laugh! And most of all be true to you! We would LOVE to learn some totally random facts about you. Feel free to share in the comment section.
