Hag Pesah Sameah!

As Passover unfolds, I find myself reflecting on my personal journey toward freedom and how it has shaped my life over the past two years.

My departure from Israel 2 years ago wasn't prompted by a thirst for adventure but rather by a deeply personal and transformative experience.

Enduring a dark night of the soul and feeling like an imposter in my own life, I set out on a journey of self-discovery and healing through the Americas.

The year leading up to my departure was one of intense turmoil and spiritual awakening. My interest in life waned before I experienced a five-day episode of spontaneous bliss, an event as disorienting as it was invigorating. With a newfound urgency and convinced I had nothing to lose, I set out on a quest for solace and understanding, hoping that nature and the open road would guide me towards a renewed sense of self.

Setting off with a heavy heart, I said goodbye to loved ones in Israel, France, and the US before fully committing to the open road. I soon realized that my journey would be a delicate balance between surrendering to the unknown and resisting the urge to seek control and stability.

Although life consistently supported me and presented miraculous events as my journey began, I found myself resisting the very path I had set out upon.

When Glen re-entered my life just as I prepared to venture through the US and Latin America, it felt like manifesting: he became both my journey partner and a pillar of support as I pursued my dream of running a podcast.

However, as life continued to serve me with seemingly endless miracles, I struggled with self-doubt and resistance, often retreating into depressive and anxious states. This slowed my progress and increased my reliance on Glen, unintentionally leading me to act more entitled as time passed.

Following my family's recent visit to Mexico, I began to lean into the path laid before me, embracing the long hours spent working on my computer to share our adventures from the past 18 months. My creativity blossomed, and I rode the emotional waves of building a following, only to be reminded that true fulfillment comes from within, not from external validation.

Throughout this journey, I have found comfort in connecting with loved ones, new acquaintances, and the stunning landscapes we encounter. As we explore lesser-known paths and visit awe-inspiring locations, I am filled with gratitude for the personal growth this journey has inspired. Each experience reveals more of the deep wisdom and beauty concealed within the world around us.

Leaving Israel in search of healing, I never anticipated the magnitude of transformation that awaited me.

My journey has taken me along the Mayan route, where I've climbed countless Nahuatl and Mayan pyramids in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. Each pyramid I ascend mirrors the steps I take in overcoming my resistance and embracing the flow of life. As I stand atop these ancient structures, I am reminded of the transformative power of facing my fears and embracing life's miracles, and that the most significant moments of our lives often emerge from the unfamiliar and the unknown.

I am currently undergoing a new awakening, driven by a desire to harness fresh energy and welcome life's natural course. Gradually, I recognize the importance of embracing life as it unfolds, rather than consistently pushing against it.

Observing my flaws, painful emotions, and fears without adding further judgment, I realize that I am making room for growth and transformation, lest I forget and Life sends me new reminders that genuine healing and change stem from embracing its flow.

Learning to release judgment extends not only to myself but also to those closest to me, such as Glen and Zill, who mirror me, helping me identify my own projections… My daily reminders…

This extraordinary journey across the Americas has been both beautiful and challenging, filled with moments of doubt, awe, and self-exploration.

During Passover, I reflect on my own journey toward freedom, welcoming the unexpected and taking a leap of faith into the vast unknown. I allow the spirit of adventure and the healing power of nature to guide me, while seeking the courage to follow the path that leads to authentic self-discovery and liberation.

Hag sameah!
