SO I stopped blogging mid trip last go around. There was too much happening - no free time, too much to do, not enough sleep. Seems as if this medium for capturing thought is becoming a travel journal of sorts - not all travels but mostly the ones taken to Israel. I wonder if its the holiness of the place, the people there or what it represents. Whatever the case, it seems that travel to Israel compels a story that I want to capture. Blogger is a nice neat journal of sorts - always there, ready and waiting. So this is where I am.
This next trip is a unique one of sorts. I am traveling alone sort of. In January, I embarked on a journey to seek out more - a new year resolution of sorts. I wanted deeper meaning, new friendships, discussions that inspired my soul and change. That change came in the form of a job, which was not easy but necessary and I am glad to report I find myself in a great new place with great new work. The opportunities to seek out deeper meaning also came with an opportunity for a trip - a spiritual journey of sorts. What I am calling birthright for moms starts next week. I have meet or reconnected with 40+ women (reconnect because some I have met before through mutual friends, temple, schools, etc.). Everyone is on the quest to meet new people, connect in a whole new way and embark on a personal spiritual journey. I am excited to travel and can't wait to experience something different - going to a familiar place and seeing it differently nd engaging with it in a whole new way. The first leg of my trip is with family and from there, I meet up with the group. The family part has be a bit anxious - I feel like it will be sad - in fact I know it will be - I already made plans with myself to go see Pepe's grave. Sigh.
In any case, my goal is to blog and capture some of my trip here. If I do, great and if I don't, great. And if I quit mid stream, great as it will be what it will be.
