I Am Learning

I am learning, growing, evolving, expanding. In my yoga class today, this was the intention I chose. “I am learning”. I feel this intention currently fits in all parts of my life. In the yoga classes that I have been doing around 4 times a week since May when the pandemic started, I am learning

Everything is ok. Everything is as it should be.

This last week (or should I say year) have been a whirlwind. The feeling of constant uncertainty about my personal future, the future of my country and the future of the world seems to stay with me every single day. I believe that humans are much more adaptable than one would think, but I wonder

The Best Feelings

The reuniting hug with someone I havent seen in so long and have been waiting to see Tasting warm freshly baked challah Mastering a song on guitar that I’ve been working on, recording it and playing it back Texts from chanichim who even after all this time, still really appreciate me Soothing anti itch cream

Thoughts on True Love

The most pure and true love in this universe is the love you can give yourself. Self love is knowing, with your full heart, that you are exactly who you’re supposed to be. It is being your own best friend. It’s loving yourself the way a mother loves her new born baby, treating it with

Happy Thanksgiving

Every night before I go to sleep I write what I’m grateful for so today I thought I’d share-  I’m grateful for forever friends, sunsets, dairy free ben and jerrys, family, my garin, army friends, my host family, my one and only sister, my parents, comfy beds, clean bathrooms, food that nourishes your soul and

Pep Talk to Myself

Dear Julia, You’ve passed more than that year mark in the army (only 9 months left) and that shvizut is really killing you.

Today One Year Ago

Exactly one year ago I finished my Hebrew course at michve alon. I’ve been through quite the experience in the past year and I can’t exactly explain it in just a few words. It’s been really hard honestly with lots of ups and downs but I still can say I don’t regret any of it.

The Judaean Desert and My Eliyahu HaNavi

​Yesterday I went on a tiyul (hiking trip) to Midbar Yehuda (nachal kina). We left early in the morning and drove an hour and a half from Modiin to get there. Waze told is to go through this bedoin village on an off road and we finally found the parking lot and the beginning of

Bucket List- Things to do to create my meaningful life

We had a guy named Yuval Abromovitz come to base to give a talk. He is a sort of motivational speaker and explained how to be a “successful person” and how to achieve goals. I haven’t stopped thinking about his presentation since I heard him. He talked about how in order to achieve goals they

This Last Week

All I wanted was for this week to be over already but now that I think about it, it wasn’t such a bad week. Sunday me and Siboniy went to base together for “take your boyfriend to work day” (stammmm⇓ that was me trying to be funny- he actually came to speak in a panel
