Breakdowns Lead To Breakthroughs

I never know what I am going to write about, it is never planned, sometimes I get a thought that I really want to share and I write it down.  Most of the time something touches me and I need to get it out of my system. Throughout my day there are ups and downs, not the most amazing ups, and not anything horrible in the downs, but it is life.  Sometimes when driving and someone cuts you off, it is a moment of being annoyed, those are the kind of downs I am talking about.  The ups for me are mainly when I teach my classes, or am supporting a pregnant, laboring, or birthing mother.  It really gives me such a natural high to be present in that moment.  I am feeling so light today, so clear, yesterday had to happen for today to happen.

After yesterday's intense day of ups and downs, I feel calm today and once again am inspired to share with the world my support of Israel, and maybe even to educate those who have no background of the conflict. On my Day of Rest, I take a break from technology and love my quiet and my naps, and I also love to read. I read some amazing articles about Jewish history that I thought would be interesting to know, even I learned something new.  I was born in Moscow, Russia, where I know the struggles and triumphs first hand. The Jewish nation is all over the world with such a rich history, and I am always excited to learn more about my ancestors that have overcome hatred, jealousy, and genocide.  I love that the message that we learn from every situation is hope, faith, and always speaking out.

This is an amazing article about the Jews of Iraq, how they stayed strong and faithful through various conquerors, and Thank God there is almost nobody left there.

I am in awe of Holocaust history, did you know that the Shtetl, the Jewish Ghetto was actually a successful business town before the Nazi's got to it?

The Nazi's used intelligent and artistic Jews for different purposes, it actually saved them from death,

I want to finish with an amazing video from a beautiful and powerful woman that was born in Lebanon, and her experiences in Israel, and how she is using her voice to speak the truth.  I hope you can get it if you are not on Facebook.

Thank you to everyone that is sending me stories and videos about Israel, I will include them when it fits the theme of my blog post, please keep sending, I am so honored that you feel I can spread the word, and hopefully the world will hear the truth.

For those of you that have done the Landmark Forum, you know the title of this blog.  Everything that happens in life personally and even on the world stage will have an end, and God Willing the world will have its eyes wide open to support what must be done.

When chaos has gone awry, there is a light.
