PICS
Well for those of you who haven't been following my blog I have been through a huge life change recently.
I was with him for five and a half years, we were engaged to be married.
It was all I ever wanted.
Its amazing how in a day your whole life can turn around.
We had a rather dramatic break up and next thing I knew I was on a plane to Israel.
My amazing sister (I don't know what I would do without her) was vacationing there at the time and she heard what happened and booked me on the next flight, three days after we broke up.
Pictures of my Israel trip here
I was so confused by the situation, emotions all over the place. Up, down, left, right. Whirlwind.
I didn't know what to do, how I could live on my own for the first time ever. (Enter puzzle)
Untill one day about a week and a half into the trip I told my sister I am going for a walk in Tel Aviv.
I just walked and walked, taking in the hustle and bustle of the city.
The smells, the people, the energy.
After about three hours of walking I sat on a bench and felt peace for the first time.
Real, inner quiet.
I realised then that I had to be in Tel Aviv.
I know it may seem like a totally impulsive decision but the truth is that the first time I was in Israel last year June/July I knew I wanted to live there, so I suppose it was a rekindled romance walking through the streets of Tel Aviv.
That was it, decision was made.
I got home and made all the arrangements, on my first meeting with the Aliyah department I was booked on a flight on 28 Dec 2009.
It was such a smooth easy process that I just knew it was the right choice.
My mom always told me that if life is a struggle you are on the wrong path.
When things just fall into place, you know you have made the right choice.
It has been a hard time for me with lots of ups and downs but in my heart I know I am doing the right thing.
This is how I solved my puzzle.
Trust in myself was the biggest lesson I learned here.
Finding that place of calm was the answer for me.
Check out my set, Rubicks Cube and see how I solve my puzzle in the form of pictures shot by the talented Miss Talamia.
I hope you like looking at them as much as I liked making them.
Thank you to everyone who has commented so far, each and every comment makes me smile

wow, that's a hell of a story. I hope it works out for you and that you can stick to it. Not that you wake up one day asking yourself if it was worth it. I don't know the details of the reason that you guys broke up and I'm the last person to question such a decision. At some point I guess, all of us make decisions. Some come in a blink of an eye, others take years to get decided about.
So, hope you'll be happy in your new surroundings and hope you find new love, new friends and happyness 
Take care

Tre' cool story. I have been engaged three times and finally the third time was the charm. It's a serious heartbreak though so please care for yourself and take the time to heal otherwise in my experience I just hurt others till I took the time to care for myself. Good luck and much love!
