Living Inspired by Sandy B

We all have moments of inspiration. It's what we do with those moments that can be impactful and transformative. Since arriving in Israel, I've been inspired by Israel, its history, its people and its unique vibe. I'm fascinated by Jerusalem, its breathtaking architecture, diverse population and her spiritual nature. It’s our city of gold that has touched my soul, filling me with spiritual fulfillment, excitement and inspiration to cross the threshold of creativity.

Within my blog @Living Inspired, I will be sharing with you what I'm passionate about, beautiful tablescapes, design tips and so much more. Living inspired allows us to live a happy and more fulfilled life. Through my blog, I hope to inspire you too.

We know these selfless young men as Lone Soldiers. The Yom Hazikaron ceremony was moving, focusing on th...
Mimouna, Time to Celebrate Life!
20 April 2016
Though Pesach fills many with dread, I eagerly anticipate it each year. The special family time, the spring time focus of the holiday, and the careful care and attention we pay to our homes are all things I enjoy and deeply connect with. One of the most special parts of the holiday for me has always been Mimouna, a Moroccan tradition which celebrates the end of Pesach, the return to eating cham...
Mishloach Manot Ideas
20 March 2016
Weeks before purim I start planning my Mishloah Manot.

In Jerusalem, we celebrate Purim on Shushan Purim which this year falls on Friday. So I'm planning to make a Mishloach Manot in the spirit of Shabbat. Here are a few of the ideas I ha...
