In the fall of 1998 I flew to Israel to volunteer for 3 months on a kibbutz. I had just been admitted to medical school in Denmark and had a few months off before the studies started. I wanted to travel, but not alone, and when a girl from work returned from a kibbutz stay […]
I am trying to be nice! Want to join?
It all started with an incident at the kids’ school. One morning when I pulled up in front of the school a car was honking behind me, a woman signaling that I should move further along the drop off line. Yes, there was place further along but it was not authorized space for drop off […]
Who am I?
There are many words that could describe who I am. When it comes to relations, for example, I am a woman, mother, wife, daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, aunt, cousin, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law and a friend. You could also call me an optimist, impatient, coffee drinker, book lover and much more. When we meet someone new, one […]
Thoughts on Time and Money and why you should Spend It Wisely
I read a lot, like really a lot. A book a week is not unusual and often even more. This is how it has been pretty much since I learned to read. When I tell people about my reading I often hear a version of “I wish I could do that, but I don’t have […]
When you have way too much
Writing this I am actually feeling a bit embarrassed. In my own worldview I am a conscious buyer and even a frugal one. I like to think that I think before I buy and don’t buy a lot. That is at least what I thought… The reason for these feelings is that a few days […]
Thoughts about being at Home away from Home
I am currently in Denmark. The place I was born and called home until I moved to Israel 16 years ago, at the age of 21. It is still home, but a different one than it used to be. Because both Denmark and I have been through many changes since I left 😉 Since 2000 […]
Links I Like (and you might too!)
Things from around the internet that I like and thought you might too 🙂 Have a great week! Focus is a choice. Depth of field (sethgodin.typepad.com) Opposites does not always attract. Online Dating and the Death of the ‘Mixed-Attractiveness’ Couple. Our expectations, more than anything else in life, determine your reality. Almost everyone who is […]
Have you ever thought about what you really want?
It is easy to think of the things we are not satisfied with. The things we want more of or less of. To think of the things we do want, like really want, is much harder. If we were asked, what we want the most, most of us would say money, but money is not […]
It depends on the Way you Look at it
This Friday I have volunteered to teach at the children’s school. It is a yearly event where parents sign up to teach about subjects like diversity, acceptance, conflicts, respect and giving. This year I am teaching about conflict management, using the movie “Inside Out” as the basis of the teaching. You know the one about […]
Links I Like (and you might too!)
I love learning something new. I love hearing other people views, ideas and experiences. There are a lot of ways to be impacted from others but the easiest (and laziest) one is probably from the web! What better way to get inspired by others while sitting comfortably at home, with your computer and a cup […]
