As an avid yoga-goer, and teacher, I am used to hearing the mantra of being in the moment before, during and after class. The idea of being fully present is incredibly important in yoga, but simply mentioning it or listening to this statement does not make it happen. Tonight I took a yin yoga class. This is …

Long Distance
Raise your hand if you have been in a romantic relationship. Raise your hand if that romantic relationship was a long distance relationship or at some point turned into a long distance relationship. Raise your hand if you have stayed in this relationship long distance on and off over the past 8 years. Well, I …
It Only Took 28 Years
Well, to be honest, for the first three it would have been impossible to hold a golf club let alone swing it. However, now that I am reaching the end of my twenties (oy, where did the time go), I have finally given into my father's passion for golf. Believe it or not the first …
Remember Me?
I'm embarrassed to say that it has been so long since I last posted on my dear blog that it took me a few minutes to figure out how to even create a new blog post. So, if you've forgotten, this is me: And while I am still Israeli, I am no longer living in Israel. …
Home is where…
To answer this statement I first have to answer, where is home? Growing up, home consisted of the house I grew-up in and my immediate family.

By the way, Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Oh wait...am I a little late? Must be the time difference here in Israel, it tends to throw me off. Or more likely, it's just the fact that life has gotten ahead of me already in 2014. In all of my math and science classes over the years my teachers failed to …
Boo!
I hope I didn't scare you. I know I haven't written in a long time so I hope my presence back on my blog isn't too startling. Life's been busy in this part of the world. Not only have I been writing blog posts all day for the start up I currently work for (if …
Where have I been
Let's just say that when you are blogging all day for someone else, coming home to write your own blog takes a back seat. For the past few weeks I have been settling into my internship at a tech startup (www.tipranks.com) writing daily posts about news in the finance world and coming up with clever …
Exploration
Today was filled with plenty of sun, lots of walking, and most importantly, less stress. We fell in love with an apartment and will sign the lease tomorrow, so with the weight of finding our new home released from our shoulders we decided to tour the city. Here are some pics from the day: …
