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. …
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. But, now that I have reached my mid/late twenties (I'm not letting go of that "mid" just yet), I have created several different homes and my family has grown. Two weeks ago I left …
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 …
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.

I am SO sorry for not being here. I am gearing up for some big changes in my life and have neglected one of my favorite friends, my blog. I have been selfish, busy and lazy and have failed to share my ideas and adventures, which has left me feeling a bit empty. I love curling up …
Dear Blogging World, I apologize for my absence. It was not on purpose, nor were there any feelings of malice behind my leave, life just got in the way. That is not a good excuse as you are part of my daily living, but please forgive me for straying for so long. Ok, ok. Yes, …
