The Lazy Person’s Guide to Cleaning the House
I love it when my house is clean.
I love the spaciousness that a clutter-free environment creates. I love to walk into my bedroom and see that the bed is made. I love the smell of a freshly washed floor. I love to see the kitchen sink empty. I love to see all my “stuff” neatly […]
Somebody Poke Me, I Must Be Dreaming
Somebody poke me: the government of Syria has made the move to block Facebook inside their borders.
According to sources speaking with Reuters, the official statement from officials is that they fear “Facebook could become a conduit for Israeli penetration of our youth”. Critics of the government say that it is really to cut off access […]
Together, WE ADD UP
The climate crisis is real and it’s happening right now. Yet, it’s so easy to feel helpless and overwhelmed. People keep asking, “What difference will changing my light bulbs really make? The problem is so huge, and I’m just one person.” I always try to explain to whoever is willing to listen how every little […]
People of Israel: Remember Who You Are (Video)
Somewhere along the way we have forgotten who we really are and what it is that we really want.
I made this short video in hope of helping us all remember before it’s too late.
Before commenting, please keep in mind:
I am a Jew was born into the Jewish religion and I am Israeli. I am […]
Ever Wonder What Your Cats Are Saying?
What We Hear:
***
What They’re Actually Saying:
Stop the Clash of Civilizations
Talk is rising of a ‘clash of civilizations’. But the problem isn’t culture, it’s politics – from 9/11 to Guantanamo, Iraq to Iran. This clash is not inevitable, and we don’t want it.
So where to start? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the key symbol of the rift between Islam & the West. It’s time to step […]
Top 50 Things They Don’t Tell You in the Job Description
Scott Adams from the Dilbert Blog gave his readers an amusing assignment: “describe your own job in one sentence, preferably in a humorously derogatory way.” He must have hit a soft spot because hundreds of readers jumped at the opportunity to tell it like it is. Check out some of the best replies from among […]
When Was the Last Time You Skipped?
What do you mean ’skipped?’
You know….SKIPPED!
The hippity hoppity gallop that came naturally to us as children, but that the majority of adults haven’t done since they were ten…SKIPPING!
Like Dorothy and the gang did arm in arm down the yellow brick road….SKIPPING!
As in expressing joy by leaping happily down the street without a care […]
Children of Israel: I Was Proud of You Last Night
Last night I attended the massive rally that took place at Rabin square in Tel Aviv with my sister, an English teacher at an Israeli high school. Despite minimal promotion and a Euro 2008 game against Russia that was broadcasted at the exact same time (Israel won 2:1, by the way), more than 100,000 people […]
Living In My Own World… Or AM I?
Yesterday I received the following email from a new reader (welcome Gina!) and felt inspired to answer it here in case others out there have similar questions… Here goes:
Someone at work keeps telling me I’m living in my own world (?) I don’t get it, so i searched online and up came your site! You have […]
The Only Message You Ever Need to Send to Anyone
Last night I feel asleep with the following words echoing in my mind, taken from Tomorrow’s God: Our Greatest Spiritual Challenge by Neale Donald Walsh. ’God’ discusses how when people are being anything other than the grander aspects of God and Life (meaning: Love, freedom, joy, peace, unity…), they have forgotten Who They Are in their grandest version. […]
How Microsoft Took Away My Freedom of Choice
Did you know that it is impossible to create a folder called CON using Microsoft Windows??
Everytime you open a new folder and try to change the name, it will automatically go back to ‘New Folder’…
Go on, try it - I know you want to.
Weird, right? But before all my conspiracy theories get out of hand, big […]

One Less Plastic Bag
A recent post on One Jerusalem discusses a new environmental program being inaugurated in Israel in order to persuade people to use less polymer plastic material:
The program, mentioned briefly on T.V. Channel 10, is asking consumers to “use one less plastic bag” when sacking up their groceries during their weekly supermarket shopping forays. Most shoppers […]
Is Someone Trying To Tell Me Something?
I woke up this morning thanking the Universe “for the upcoming day, for the new opportunities that will open up for me, for the people that will cross my path and the coincidences or synchronicity of events that will help me to find my true purpose and higher Self.“ (It’s something new I decided to try…)
A couple […]
