It's About Time


I know, I know, it's about time I start posting...So..O.K..I am a very shy person..Here we go....In the beginning, I'll say a huge "thank you" to Katherine for inviting me here and another equally big "thanks" to the other members, for having me here.

Now, the hard bit...something about myself...where to start? I was born in Romania 44 years ago and I am currently living in Israel (long story, another time). I am a former journalist that tried to be an English teacher (in Israel) and failed with flying colors! I am currently a staying at home mum, and of course, I am called "imaaaaaaaa" (mother in Hebrew) by my three years old baby-girl Maya and my 24 years old son, Darie.

Back in Romania, in my glorious days as a journalist I published a book, a traveling/history/personal experiences type about Israel. It is called "Between the Central Bus Station and The Wailing Wall". But that was a long time ago, in another life...Now, I am working at a big, secret project, a fiction book, and it is really big for me as I attempt to write it in English...I am training my hand in writing here: http://aloneinholyland.blogspot.com/ where I watch my life unfolding before my eyes, where I can go and live among my memories from time to time...
That is for now...I'll be back soon. now I have to go to take Maya from the kindergarten. So glad to be here!

Hi Ramona- your secret project sounds intriguing. I notice a huge age gap between your children- that must be interesting!

Thank you for your warm welcome!
Heather - there is a 20 years gap between my children and believe me, having Maya it was by far the best thing I've done the past 4 years. Motherhood at 44 is different from what it was at 24. Still, the kids love each other very much and Maya is very proud of her big brother.
