AprilNews 2024 with Lisa Niver & We Said Go Travel:
Thank you so much for all of your support for my writing, my website, my memoir, my videos! My book, Brave-ish, has been winning awards and I have had the chance to speak at so many events in the last six months. I am planning more!! Please invite me to speak in your city, bookstore, business about my 50 DARES before 50 and how you can take SMALL STEPS which lead to BIG CHANGES!
You can find my book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Simon & Schuster, Post Hill Press, Target, Walmart, BookShop, BAM! and wherever you get your audiobooks! People always ask me where is it best to buy my book. I recommend you go into or call your favorite local book store and ask them to order it for you and pick it up IN THE STORE! You never know what other treasures you will find. Any bookstore can order my book because my publisher is Post Hill Press and it is distributed by Simon and Schuster. My friend in New Zealand just ordered my book to her local store! Brave-ish is available all over the globe!
Happy 😃 birthday 🎂 to my Mom 💕💕💕Our family celebrated together under the shimmering lights and fountains of Las Vegas. Here’s to another year of treasured memories, laughter, and love with the woman who means the world to us. https://youtube.com/shorts/t5W25zbgDIQ
In this season of Spring and Passover, I continue to hope and pray for the hostages to return to Israel. As we said, “Let My People GO!” at our seder, I wait for it to be true. I hope that all of our college students will feel safe on campus and that there will be peace in our world. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6FPL1tPMTn/
Have you seen me on TV talking about “Becoming Brave and Fearless Over 50” —click here or watch below for many different TV segments about my BOOK!
It was my honor to speak in Salt Lake City at the Women in Travel Summit. Our panel was called: JOURNEYS OF THE SOUL: NAVIGATING THE PATH TO A BOOK DEAL. I loved being in Utah this season for the conference and I went skiing in Utah at Park City Mountain and Deer Valley several times this season. I also signed my book at the Park City Library AND went to visit at Artworks PC where my ceramic art used to be on display and for sale on Main Street. Several of my 50 DARES BEFORE 50 in my book happened in Park City! (https://www.instagram.com/p/C5v2cNbu400)

Do you love audiobooks? My memoir, Brave-ish, is available! AND!!! I am the narrator! Did you know that authors have to audition to narrate their books?!!?
Congregation Beth Israel is the oldest traditional Orthodox shul in Los Angeles, which was dedicated in 1902 and originally located in the Bunker Hill District in Downtown LA.
Denouncing my invitation, anti-Zionists smashed over 25 plate-glass windows in two nights of vandalism. Their graffiti proclaimed: “Stop your Zionist war propaganda” and “stop zios.”
Crazy as it might sound, it all started with the Dodgers, and how they won back-to- back World Series in 2024 and 2025. That year, with those two championships on either end, is the exact same year l became a practicing Jew. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
From Los Angeles to Thailand, Israelis are sitting anxiously, waiting for a notice from El Al or other airlines, hoping for a chance to board a flight back to Israel.
We are delivering hands-on learning and building resilience for a generation growing up under conflict in a region that lacks a dedicated children’s museum.
American malaise involves gloomy thoughts about spiking gas prices, or depressing flashbacks to previous wars where days stretched into decades. Israeli malaise is accompanied by gloomy thoughts about the Americans.
