Almost one month in and I have already grown in a way that I never could have imagined. I literally feel as though my soul and my body have found a way to one another. I must admit that I realize that this life decision to just pack up and move to Israel doesn’t just affect me, it has affected my family and friends and clients. I chose to take a leap of faith and accidentally pulled  everyone else on the journey  with me, even, if only in spirit.
RECAP

So far my journey has included highs and lows, small victories and small mistakes, being able to communicate  with my eyes and a smile  until I enroll  in ulpan (conversational  Hebrew class) and hopefully  learn enough to be able to complete  a few sentences. My journey so far has seen me on the beach and eating amazing food with some awesome friends. My son came for taglit /birthright  and stayed a couple of weeks  over and that was so nice to just be able to spend  time with him and his eighteen  year old miniman  self. 

As I go into the next thirty days of my journey, I am praying  for strength  and a new job…. STAY TUNED

So here I  stand, one week ago today, I landed in Israel… it’s been an experience so far.. I have relaxed on the beach and I have tried to place some sense  of normalcy  back into my existence. For now I am settled in a space of getting to know my surroundings. I am preparing myself for that stage of growth and it’s exciting  and scary. Let’s see what life throws in my path next

Wow….

So much to say in such a short amount  of time. Well, as of now I am all set to leave the place I have called home for the last 20ish years of my life. I, as you know have made a huge decision  to move to another country. Why you may ask? WHY NOT, I say in response. The easy way to understand my decision  is to look at my life and to understand  that it’s customized  to who I am……..

 I am Israel  Chai

I literally have so much to say but I’m so excited I don’t know how to say it…. WELL, here goes,  I’m moving to Israe!!!!I have been approved for my Aliyah, booked my  flight and my Visa is on its way . As I take this time to reflect on the decision that I have made for myself I take this time to also reflect on the changes in my life that got me to this point in the beginning. Who knew that a little bout with cancer would put me on a journey  towards something magical

the time has come.. I’m 5 months away  and still waiting for my official approval but lookie here.. my stomach just dropped a little. I’m so excited, GD willing, I’ll  be on the plane. #staytuned

Wow… so it has been a while. I have been living more and writing less. I took my pilot trip to Israel and IT was just as magical as I knew it would be . I had the time of my life but I also know this journey will have some funny
moments

and probably some what did I just do moments.

You know what is really interesting  to me? When I tell people I am moving and want a change, most people say it’s not going to be the same life you have… I’m like duh, I know that. That’s why it’s called change.  Why must we need comfort and complacency  to feel safe? I’m not sure but I am ready for an adventure  of a lifetime
FULL SPEED  AHEAD
