What is this puzzle I keep refering to you ask?
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

So my sister heard about F and I breaking up and she happened to be vacationing in Israel at the time so she whisked me off to Israel on the very next flight for a three week healing vacation. Is she the best sister or what??
Some pictures:
The view from our hotel in Tel Aviv.
Beautiful sunset.
My bag looks cute next to my book....
(I <3 Emily)
Sisters <3
This was taken by the entrance to the Western Wall in the Old City, Jerusalem.
Peoples hopes and dreams in the Western Wall, mine are there somewhere.
Milky!! my favourite, its chocolate pudding at the bottom and cream at the top. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
Got to meet the gorgeous Wendy Suicide
I got a new tattoo, it translates 'The only constant is change'
I fell totally, utterly in love (for the second time) with the gorgeous coastal city of Tel Aviv
So much so that I have decided to move there.
I would have to start my life over here anyway so I may as well start over there.
Things have moved so quickly its as if a path has been cleared before me and I am just meant to be in Israel.
Its a huge decision, mostly I feel really strong about it. Occasionally though I feel sheer terror at the thought of leaving the place I have lived my whole life, my friends and family.
I have a one way ticket booked on 28 Dec
On another note I have some new pics for you
Shot by Jaquie Van Staden
I got bored and scanned myself (you may have seen this one already)
I have booked the date with Talamia to shoot not one, not two but THREE new sets that we will submit over time!! Can't wait!
Also, South Africa has a new SG, please welcome the lovely Lumo Suicide!!!
Thats about it for now.

Dear F.
You and I met when I was 12 and you were 14.
We fell in love back then as much as two passionate young teenagers could.
We lost our virginity to each other.
Our song growing up was Metallica Nothing Else Matters.
We broke up only to re unite 10 years later.
We got engaged five years after that.
I really thought you were the one.
We loved each other so much for so long.
It pains me that it is over even though I know it can't work.
I think I need to start a new life, move to Israel.
On my own, for the first time since I was 16 to show myself what I am capable of.
I have been so up and down in the last few days, kissed a couple of boys, gotten black out drunk and gotten tonsilitis due to totally over doing it.
I need to rampage but I also need to calm down and find my center.
I think Israel is the place for me.
I find it so comfortable here.
The people are amazing, the medditeranian is gorgeous, the food is the best I have ever had and because I am jewish it will be easy for me to get in.
I think I want to be here by the end of the year.
Please send me lots of love and hugs, I need it. I am really fragile at the moment.
