Partners In My Journey...


How beautiful is Jerusalem in snow? It is thanks to the stormy weather in our little town that I finally sat down to create my blog…

For a long time now I should have done this. In my mind, I've already had a blog since the day I thought it up. Isn’t it funny how the mind works. My mind at least. Very often I will form an idea in my mind and it doesn’t actually have to happen in real life for me to feel like it’s real. If I can think about the solutions of an assignment and I know roughly that I am capable of solving all the questions, in my mind I have already completed it. What is left to do is just writing it up and compared to the relatively more intense intellectual process that preceded it, the physical act is really insignificant. And so I have been writing blog entries in my head since the day I “created” my blog.


So here I go on my first tangent. Not that I’m surprised by that. I tend to go on tangents in my mind all the time. I travel through them until I practically become one big tangent! It’s very difficult to make sense of it all sometimes. My brain has so many things running through it at one time I don’t know if I could ever manage to meditate.

To get back to the point of this blog… For some reason I’ve developed a very exhibitionist side in the last couple of months. You would think I have some very insightful comments to make, some wonderful wisdom to impart. Well, I hate to disappoint, but that is not the case. There will be some great recipes posted here, some nice pictures, travel anecdotes and plenty of ordinary, every day experiences, all so that I can somehow satisfy my growing need to share the happiness I have recently been blessed with. I just hope for your sakes that it is infectious!

Another benefit I hope to get from my blog is your input, dear friends. I am at a critical point in my life when I have taken time off professional life in order to feed my soul. I would like to use this time to finally figure out where I want to go from here. That is where you come in. You are the people who know me, who care about me. It is in great part our interactions with good friends that build us to be the people we are. Therefore I want you to know that I appreciate every little comment from you and I internalize it. So feel free to share with me what you think, where in your mind’s eye you see me… Here starts my journey...
