Totally Shabby Chic in Yafo!

Today I went into Yafo, a southern part of Tel Aviv, with Ashley and 2 girls from our program, Karen and Goldi. It was cool. I got to see another part of Tel Aviv and we went antiquing! It was quite cool. It was such an ediTORIal (Tori Spelling), shabby chic moment. It was awesome to see all of these really neat old pieces of furniture. I got quite excited about a lot of the pieces I saw today. I think maybe I am getting a little of my mom's decorating bug with age. LOL!

It was nice to just look at some of the architecture of the area too. There were cool paintings on the walls, it was just a neat old world market feel. The weather was nice, the sun was shining and I was in good company. All in all it was a great day to spend the day off from school, exploring my new city.

I thought the top of this building was so pretty! I love the windows!

Gatta love little trinkets in Antique stores! See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil! 

Total awesome elephant sculpture made of wood chips.

Made me feel like I was in a true middle Eastern Bazaar/Market.


The Yafo Clock Tower

Just a neat wall we saw while walking around.

C'est la vie in Tel Aviv!

I decided to begin blogging after a friend of mine suggested it when I announced I'd be leaving Atlanta, GA after 9 years and move to Tel Aviv, Israel for grad school. This will be a way for my friends and family to see what I'm up to and keep in touch with me. For those that know me best I don't think they were surprised by my decision to move to Israel. I'm a pretty adventurous girl and I'm always up for taking the road less travelled. I consider my decision to move to Israel an act of divine intervention. For the past couple of years Israel has been at the top of my travel list, along with a few other countries in the Middle East. Also, I went back to school last summer after 4 years in public accounting. I decided that it was time for a career change. I wanted to work with children and I have lots of interest in psychology so I went back to complete my bachelors degree in psychology. I actually turned in my last assignment for the completion of my requirem...

Stress Kills!

Earlier this year one of my professors said something in class that has stuck with me ever since. She said that people usually find psychology because they are trying to understand themselves. We usually are trying to understand a problem that we've defined in our own lives rather than something that we specifically see or want to understand about others. This statement was an "Ah ha" moment for me, as Oprah would say. I really began to reflect on if this was true for me and it definitely was. My interest in psychology was very personal. I didn't grow up in what would be considered a normal family structure and growing up it led to some internal struggles for myself that I eventually had to learn to come to terms with and become aware of and face as best I could. I'm specifically interested in stress and anxiety disorders. I am really interested in the effects on children. Growing up I felt alone in trying to understand the areas of my childhood that I didn...
