Check in

[Becca Kahn Bloch]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know where I'm at these days. I've kind of dropped off the face of the earth recently and I wanted to check in. 

I've been thinking a lot about a life in America vs. a life in Israel, and have realized that I still have more that I want to do in America. I've been accepted, with a scholarship, to a post-baccalaureate residency at an art school in Portland, OR. I'm incredibly excited about the opportunity and want to give myself more time to seriously study art and pursue it academically and professionally. 

This doesn't mean that I will never end up in Israel, but it does mean that I'm not ready to leave America right now. Please know that this was a really hard decision, even though I'm very excited for this opportunity. I love you all and hope that we all stay a part of each others' lives regardless of where we are and end up. 

I've loved being a part of this process with you. 

Love, Becca
