There is something about a beach vacation that leaves you blissfully relaxed and happy. There is something truly magical about being near the ocean.

In the midst of the unexpected journey of our lives, we find ourselves facing situations that test our patience, resilience, and faith. As I sit here in Israel, dealing with canceled flight, closed parks, and a world under threats and violence, I've chosen to embrace these challenges with a heart full of positivity and faith.

What a crazy day it was yesterday. Never did I anticipate that I would be ending my vacation in the midst of a war in Israel. Waking up at 6:30 in the morning to the horrifying sound of sirens was a cruel reality. Locked up in a bomb shelter, my heart raced, I prayed for the safety of my loved ones and for the chance to return home safely.

Last couple of days in Israel we have celebrated birthdays after birthdays and it got me thinking about my thirtieth birthday coming up in a few weeks. I know most people see this age as quite the milestone, but I’m feeling quite chill about entering my thirties.

The first couple of days in Israel have been full of emotions, and creating new experiences and memories. After a 14-hour flight, we greeted by by family and it felt like I had never left home. Every sight and sound it's almost surreal how quickly I felt at ease in this place.

Have you ever taken the time to thank your parents just because? From the time we are born, they support us in all the ways they can. They make sacrifices and offer love that cannot be found anywhere else.
