El Al...El Al...

I type this in the El Al lounge in JFK airport waiting to board my flight to Israel (thanks to an amazing family (ML in memory of BL) for the gift of the ticket!) for some much needed vacation.

I can't go into any details, but this week has been one of the most stressful work weeks I have ever had in any job. Blessed be for vacations!!!

Flying to Israel, listening to Hebrew, listening to Americans who made aliyah (moved to Israel) talk about going home from their business trips continues to stoke my thoughts of making a move myself. Of course, such thoughts don't need much stoking. I'm already thinking and rethinking and hoping and thinking about doing it. Much to consider, much to decide and then I just need to make that decision. Sound circular? My internal process feels a bit circular at the moment. I look forward to paying attention to that on the trip.

Life events (or one might say the Holy One) sends us in interesting directions, eh?

Looking forward to winging my way across the ocean to Eretz Yisrael!!!

Your sister thriver,
Leah

I'm so happy for you! Congratulations... I hope you enjoy a beautiful, sunny, food-filled and spirit filled vacation... sending you much love and good thoughts! Please visit the Yemenite man in the Jsalem market who makes lotions and potions and if there is anything you deem transportable.. I'd love some! Or spices, zaatar and other goodies.... LOVE and have fun!
