    Seven days

    It has only been seven days since you got back. I repeat those words to myself like a mantra on a regular basis, each time I look in the mirror.

    It's only been seven days since you got off that plane. Seven days of jet lag. Four working days at a brand new, big, scary, exhilarating job where I really want to prove myself. Three days of packing your life into boxes. Three more days of unpacking it, making a new place feel like home.

    Seven days of bickering. Seven days of feeling like I'm just not enough. Seven days of getting too little sleep, in odd hours. Seven days of holding each other when things got just a bit too much. Seven days of making new hopes and dreams. Seven days of new beginnings.

    Is it surprising that I've had little time to cook, photograph, style or write amongst it all?

    Yet I miss it all so much.

    In the coming weeks, I'll be updating this space a little bit less. Twice a week, likely on Mondays and Thursdays - back to my initial blogging schedule. I hope you guys will be OK with it.

    Meanwhile, I'll be working on building a repository of posts to provide myself with a cushion, some breathing space. Meanwhile, I'll be editing the bazillion photos I took in Israel and Munich, BERLIN, Frankfurt (oh, be still my beating heart). Meanwhile, I'll be putting together my new life, block by block, piece by piece. Meanwhile, I hope you will contend with a bit more photos, a few less long-form posts, a little bit less recipes and more blueprints, suggestions, ideas.

    Like these.

      Wow, these pictures of your family are awesome. I'm not sure how you always manage to write a post that is so timely and relatable? I'm going through some of the same things except it's with my daughter. She's home from school and wants to be with me every single second. Meanwhile, my husband is asking what my next post is about. I feel so inadequate! My family is definitely my job but I love my blog. Sometimes life is the highest high and in the next breath it can bring the lowest low. It's a funny and mysterious thing.

      What is your new job? I'm excited for you. You supposedly did this before with the Jewish Food Project, few posts and updates etc...expect you always delivered great content and heartfelt posts. So I'm sure you will rock this change as well. Best wishes my blogging + foodie friend.

        Kellie, if only you knew what warmth and joy your words bring. Honestly, I almost teared up when I read your comment! It means so much to hear someone truly identify with what I'm going through. It's nice to know I'm not the only one constantly feeling in an endless race on a mountainous ridge - and even nicer to remember that there's an UP at the end of the down! Hope you carve out some space and time for yourself in your busy life.

      You're an excellent photographer, but just of food but of moments too and the people with whom you share them!
      We are all human and it is not possible for us to everything that we would like to or think we should do, even though we might not believe this at times. Take care and all the best in your new job! 🙂

        Thank you, friend. It took me a lot of time to be able to admit to myself that going easy on myself for a bit is not a crime, and that no one will hate me for it. I'm glad my readers and friends have been so understanding 🙂
