Yes, Happy New Year!! Today (in Israel) is the first day of the new Jewish year. It is a time to reflect on the past year and prepare for the year ahead, contemplating actions, dreams and feelings. It's amazing the amount of things that happen during a year and last year was a pretty full …

A Typical Day
It has been almost two weeks since my relocation to Israel and no two days have been alike. From the moment we landed we have been on the go, finding a new place, moving and settling in, and only just now is some semblance of normal finding its way into the everyday. I started the …
That Time I Moved to Israel
Yes, it has been quite some time since my words have graced your screens, and yes you read correctly, I am now living in Israel. Well, truthfully I have only lived in Israel for a few hours so you are not missing any of my Middle Eastern adventures. However, a lot has happened since I …
Little Obsessions
Most of my days are fairly routine in the sense that I go to work all day (normally with some sort of break in the middle, if I'm lucky), then I take myself over to the gym and either spin or do a body weight workout, and then come home and make dinner, followed by …

When I used to run with the San Francisco Road Runners I was complimented by a fellow runner on my running form. Following his flattering observation I ran with more confidence and pride. I even ran a little faster with an extra hop in my step. It felt great to be recognized for something I …
WIAW – Quick and Easy
I like to cook. I really do. But that doesn't mean that I slave over a hot stove for hours with countertops of ingredients. I like to use as few ingredients as possible because the shorter the list the faster I get to eat. The simpler recipes also give me less of a chance to …
Some Feedback
Because running is off of the table until late Summer at the earliest I have turned to swimming and spinning. I really enjoy my time in the pool, but swimming wall to wall can get a bit old day after day, so I have turned to gym classes to get in a good workout. My …
The Grass is Always Greener…well maybe not, but it sure looks like it
It's hard not to walk down the street and look at a person running by and think, gee, they are so lucky they can run, and compete in races and jog with friends. Or see someone with a flat stomach and assume that they get to eat whatever they want and still look good in …
