I grew up with a brother



I feel grateful for so many things, Chanukah is a time of year where we are conscious of every day miracles.  I was thinking today that I am very blessed to have a daughter but it is challenging for me to have female energy in the house because I grew up with the best brother ever, one brother, no sisters.  Many of my friends have such beautiful sister relationships, I was so happy to be the only girl of the house, the oldest child, and to have a beautiful close relationship with my brother and still do.


I feel grateful for my birthplace, Moscow, Russia, it makes me appreciate a very unique culture, I still speak, read, and write, so I can crack up with the amazing jokes and videos like the one below.




I am grateful for my Jewish brothers and sisters in the IDF singing Chanukah songs in the above video, they are so brave.

I am grateful when governments and people work together and focus on one person, one soul, one individual, so special that Alan Gross is home for Chanukah, http://www.bringalanhome.org/.

My kids have brought home Menorah's from school, they all got to light the first candle last night, and tonight the party's begin.  I just love celebrations, I love the happiness, I love socialization, food, music, and a festive mood.

I am grateful for the Holiday Season,
Everyone makes an effort to gather and be merry,
Happy Holidays,
Chag Chanukah Sameach,
Coach Yulia
