la naïveté des nations occidentales

La naîveté des nations occidentales face à l'islamisme me surprend à tout coup et que penser du vote français pour l'adhésion de la Palestine à l'Unesco ?! Que va-t-il sortir de ce printemps arabe et à qui va-t-il profiter ? J'ai l'impression que la coalition de la Grande-Bretagne, la France et des États-Unis en Lybie va en prendre plein la gueule. Il fallait y croire mais ça sent de plus en plus le roussi... Comment imaginer, par exemple, que le tombeau des patriaches soient considérés comme appartenant au patrimoine des Palestiniens ? Toute cette situation me semble complètement absurde, le monde aurait-il perdu la tête ? Toutefois, si les Juifs ont survécu à la destruction de leurs temples, à l'exil et à l'holocauste, ils survivront encore et toujours.

To start anew

The possibility to start anew, fresh, liberated from the past, that's what I have started. tout début a un commencement. Sometimes I feel like if I would be stuck in a never ending start without beginning, like if I would be walking on a trade mill. The courage to face my mistakes and make the much needed corrections. Tuesday will be the time of that new beginning. Let's see what will come next.

To be grateful

Sometimes I am so deeply swallowed by money worries, that I drown into negativity which is the worst place to be.
Today I had two unexpected gifts. First my rabbi called to offer my oldest daughter ticket to see the hockey game tomorrow, she will go with 7 other kids, front row tickets, 400$ each ! Secondly, I called my landlord to tell him that I was thinking of changing the dishwasher and he told me that he'll pay for it. My landlord is truly a saint man, god bless him !
Like my grand-father Saul use to tell me: don't worry, everything is going to be allright.
To let go of negativity and negative vibes. And never stop believing.

Courage

Courage is my new word. it came as the word of the day, than the word of the week and now the word of the month. Let's see how long he's going to stand there in my life. Courage. Courage to be, courage to be you, most of all courage to over come the fear, our own fear. Courage to trust, to love, to change. To let go to jump into the unknown, to face, to accept ourself or someone else.

Courage to wish like Gilad Shalit, after 5 years of captivity at the hands of the Hamas, for peace between both people instead of wishing for revenge.

Courage is my new word until the next.

L'insoutenable légèreté de l'être

the unbearable lightness of being

to be a mother

To be a mother is the biggest responsability and a privilege. it is the most beautiful thing I have ever done. to say that I am in love with my kids is an understatement. I say that god blessed me not once but twice. i always knew I couldn't die before being a mother, I always knew I would be one. i could say that I am first a mother and after a woman. Their happiness will always come before mine. I have the most wonderful, sweet and beautiful children. I am truly blessed and eternally grateful.

to be calm

The more I advance in age the more calm I become. I'm enjoying that state of coming closer to peacefulness. I use to think of myself as intense, I think of myself more and more as peaceful. I have to say that it is a relief. My intensity was a burden very heavy to carry. The pieces are coming together, I am almost centered, in control. It doesn't mean that my life is absolutely perfect far away from it. I don't think that anybody can claim to a perfect life but I grasp it now. Instead of saying I live by the grace of god, I feel that I live by my grace as well. I'm less anxious, I trust and I have faith. N'aie crainte car Yahve ton Dieu est dans toutes tes démarches.

Barush Hashem,

FORWARD

TO BE HUMAN IS TO BE CONSCIOUS OF BEING ALIVE AND OF TIME.

JUDAISM IS THE RELIGION OF THE FUTURE TENSE, THE FUTURE DOESN'T EXIST IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, THE PRESENT, MAYBE THE PAST, BUT NOT THE FUTURE.

JUDAISM IS A RELIGION OF MOTION, JUDAISM IS GOING FORWARD. HUMAN HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT MOVEMENT FORWARD, HISTORY IN MAKING

Maturity

In judaism maturity comes at 40 years old. For me, part of maturity is letting go of the pass and stepping in adulthood. It took me time I think now I just did, letting go of my past, letting go of my ties to the past.

I was in Zara today and they played most of the song I play here or on my FB page, very strange...

I'm finally ready to be a woman and not a little girl. You will say being 45 years old it's about time, but it took me time. Being an adult was never something I was looking for as a child, I was dreading the adulthood. Real life, real accomplishment comes with adulthood, I making my first step, let's see what will be the outcome.

To live takes courage

Since I was 6 years old, I always felt different, out of place, a stranger. This feeling was stronger between the age of 20 till 30. I went through a phase of self-destruction, my cult movie was Natural born killers, I had a poster of Orange Mechanic on my wall. I thought I was on the wrong planet, that they had been a mistake. I was a lion in a cage, undomesticated. I felt surrounded by people I couldn't relate to, I wasn't talking their language, we weren't from the same specie. I was high up in the firmament while they were remaining on the ground. I was passing time at any cost. I use to answer to the question what do you for a living: I live it keeps me busy...I could have die or maybe not after all since I'm alive and more than ever before. I'm not the type to let go that easily. I was born with the spleen. The lucky ones find very early what to do with their life i never knew what to do with mine, why I was on earth. I wasn't able to be satisfy with the day to day routine. I thought I was in technicolour while they were grey, I felt I was truly alive, while they were living dead, not conscious of the fact that they were alive. With age, i became less arrogant and, I have to say, more like them. The feeling of being a stranger is gone, I feel very much attached to this world. Maybe because I'm a mother now. It was a slow process, coming back to reality, It took me time, I did it step by step. I'm happy with what I have become. I feel that I can control myself, say no when it's time, I'm almost at peace. I'm still moving forward, but not in a destructive way, in a positive way. I feel confident that i can make it, that i can making it alone. I feel that my time has come because this is my life and it is my time to shine.

to have a voice

I heard and Afghan woman in an interview who said I wasn't afraid to die I was afraid to be alive but to be dead inside. A wanted to be a woman with a voice.

before I use to say that I was screaming to an army of death people, I didn't care, i had a voice, I was alive.
