The not so Begining.

Most people start at the beginning. And I admit that might have been the logical thing to do, but most times logic eludes me like the mysterious cleaning fairy who has yet to show me her broom. So having thrown logic to the wind I can now announce the result. My book is out!!  Qwerki Quotes & Inspirational Thoughts is an eternal calendar that gives daily humor and inspiration. So the question is why write something like this? Who needs this type of calendar and what am I trying to achieve with this? Such great questions! And I will answer them, one by one.  

Why write something like this? Well as someone who struggles with sadness almost daily, (and I'm not talking about mild "oh the sun isn't shiny today" type of sadness. Not belittling that type of sadness, but I'm talking about mind-numbing and totally engulfing sadness. I'm talking about the type of sadness that overwhelms, overpowers, and overtakes me.) and as  I struggle to pick myself up from that place of darkness and despair  I have found that humor- even if it is one silly thought can lift me up from that endless black pit that I sometimes find myself in.  And so I laugh or chuckle or smile or even roll my eyes upwards and I have a moment of relief, but then what? I need something that will pick me up and push me forward. It is not enough to have a moment's reprieve from this bone-crushing sadness that I feel. I also need something to take me out. Lift me out. Push me onward, upward, and skyward.  Thus the combination of Humor and Inspiration.  The birth of Qwerki Quotes and Inspirational Thoughts.

Next Question:

Who needs something like this?

Well. The first person that I can name is myself. I need something like this. And something like this didn't exist so I had to create it. Ta-Da!  Other people who can benefit from this type of calendar are people who are facing their own personal and private challenges and hell.  This was in fact created in memory of a great friend who battled an almost 10-year war with cancer. Yet she was always upbeat always finding something to laugh about and never letting her cancer beat her down.  While creating this calendar it occurred to me that people who are going through chemo and other treatments could also benefit from having a handy book that would allow them some relief from the dark cloud that might hang above their heads and so this became my mission and my way to honor my friend: Create a book that will help other people who are facing the same thing.

Lastly: what am I trying to achieve with this?

Ultimately I want to achieve world peace. But I'll settle (in the meantime ) for just making someone's day a little easier. a little brighter a little less heavy.  It is so important to laugh, it is so important to have something that will push you forward. Hoping I can have a little part in that.

Third Party Intervention Failures

Image
vol#8 This week's blog is a glimpse into my marriage.  I don't know how many of you know but we are celebrating 25 years this week. A True Milestone and we're so grateful to have reached the silver. It wasn't always clear that we would reach this milestone.   Like any marriage, we have our ups we have our downs, and we even have Big Downs. Even now reaching this Milestone we're still not the perfect couple.                         There is a very important lesson though that I learned early on and I want to share it with you. Early in our marriage, We had this big big disagreement. It seems trivial but we actually needed third-party intervention. and since then our marriage has been on a different level.  I am a super duper believer in the concept of breathing. My husband? Not so much. I mean obviously, he likes to breathe because the alternative is not so great, but at night he likes to be buried in his blankets. Me? I need air. Fresh air. As in lots of fresh air.

The Struggles

Image
Two weeks ago I wrote about my fears. I wrote about my fear of cats, and how when someone told me that they are actually a good thing it changed my perspective. And thus my fear. I wrote about my fear of inaction. And how taking action cures - and alienates the fear. And I wrote about my fear of failing and how I'd remind myself of all the good things that are done all the promises that I've kept to myself and to others and it helps me to push forward. This week I want to address 3 of the things I struggle daily with. I feel that struggling with something is harder sometimes than failing at something. When I fail at something I can pick myself up and learn the lesson and move on. Struggles are daily tests. Sometimes I win and sometimes I don't. Time is a big issue for me. Ever since my birth (my mother constantly and consistently reminds me how hot it was, how late I was, and how heavy I was.) I feel like I am playing a perverse game of catch-up. Catching with events, prog

Reality and Duality

                                                                        Vol : #10     Last week on my blog I wrote about one of the first memories I had in Israel and  I shared a sweet remembrance about my grandparents bringing me to Jerusalem.   Little did I know how much my world would change in one week.  Last week on Monday my grandmother was still alive and there was still that faint hope that she would come out of her coma.  Last Wednesday my grandmother returned her pure soul to her maker after living a full and Rich life. My grandmother Left Behind more than 70 direct descendants,  which is such an amazing life accomplishment.    this week the blog falls on a Jewish holiday called Tu Bi-shvat a lot of the holiday concentrates on the rejuvenation and rebirth of nature and life itself Using trees as a metaphor for life. Such a fitting tribute to my grandmother.  On Tu' Bishvat We celebrate nature. Traditionally  In Israel on this holiday  we plant trees  and celebrate th e Se
