Travels
So as with any job there are ups and downs... But recently I have absolutely been so fortunate to have traveled to some amazing places which reminds me why I truly love it so much! Last month i was blessed to spend 3 days in Israel! This is never a place that I ever would have thought of visiting on my own, but now I am already putting it on my list of places to re-visit and so anxious to return! Lets hope I live to that ripe old age of 88 like the psychic told me i would :) because baby i have a long list of places I want to see! Tel Aviv was great, beautiful old historic buildings mixed with metropolis of new commerce AND did I mention some of the most creative and gorgeous fashion designers (note to self, work harder and bring more money for more shopping next time!) Although the visit was short, we also packed in a day trip to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. It was awful being so rushed through Jerusalem, but I knew we had to keep moving if we wanted to see it all. Walking on the stones through the Old City of Jerusalem I couldn't help but feel the presence of Jesus. Being able to visit the church of the holy sepulchre where he was crucified and laid in his tomb and being allowed to place my hands upon the symbolic stone that his body was laid upon was something I will forever feel inside. The people of Jerusalem were unbelievably kind souls.... the inquiry and thirst to learn in the children's eyes as they asked me where I was from in America and their sense of pride and knowledge talking about their city was so touching! What if we all had that sense of pride in where we are from, wouldn't this world be a better place!
Well tomorrow I'm off to start a trip in which i will be spending two days in Shannon, Ireland! So I'll toast a mug of Guinness to all the ones i love, have loved and thank god for allowing me to experience such incredible adventures! Shalom xoxo
