Feelings and happenings...

In this blog I want to write about what's happening in my life, with an emphasis on my artistic development. At the moment I am preparing a move, after four years in Jerusalem I am preparing to move to...well I am not really allowed to say it publicly yet as it has to do with my husbands work, but a place nearer to home (Sweden). These four years have been an intensely creative period, a challenging time on a personal level because of the political situation, but a most rewarding time also. The best part of my life here has been the work I have done, on a volunteer basis, with the organisation Ma'an lil Hayat, L'Arche Bethlehem. It's a group that works with mentally challenged people in Bethlehem. www.maanllhayat.ps When I arrived here four years ago I saw their felted products in a shop and immidiately started to  search for them. And since I sat my foot in that place I was hooked. Their love and compassion kept me coming back and I have now worked with them for almost four years and feel like a part of their family. It will be hard to leave, but I know I will be back!
