Author Reflects on Fears and Dreams, Crediting Support System for Growth

In a personal reflection coinciding with the new year, author Liron Haik Meoz discusses the persistent fear and excitement that accompany major life decisions. She describes this feeling as a constant companion throughout her 43 years, from high school and military service to career milestones like pitching her column to an editor.

Meoz dedicates her column to individuals who have pushed her out of her comfort zone and helped her confront her fears over the past year. She highlights her editor, Liat, for her support and ability to identify potential in people and stories. She also praises graphic designer Natalie for her talent in translating dreams into visual designs and for her intuitive understanding of clients.

The author extends her gratitude to her three children, Eili, Ori, and Yahli, who consistently challenge her and teach her about herself, her capabilities, and her fears. She acknowledges the demanding nature of motherhood while emphasizing the fulfillment it brings.

Finally, Meoz expresses deep appreciation for her partner, who recognized her potential seven years ago and supported her dreams despite external doubts and prejudices. She values their shared journey and his unwavering belief in her, often more than she believes in herself.

Looking ahead, Meoz expresses a hope for a calm year with positive changes for Israel, wishing for the long-awaited change to finally arrive.
