How would you describe a donut and a croissant together? It is a combination that probably will take a few minutes off my life unless I grab a glass of red wine or stick my fingers.. (you got the point). Crownuts are flaky, creamy and oh so good. I guess if I only have one once in a while I’ll be fine. The only problem is that once in awhile appears to be later today.
I recently heard from an individual who had strong disagreements with the President and then was invited to the “White House”. This individual was delighted to receive this invitation and was taken in by the beautiful décor of the building and all the entire experience. It wasn’t surprising then to hear that this individual positions had modified their position. We all can be taken in by style over substance especially when that style connects with our lifestyle. It is why marketing is such a large key to success for any product or service. That is another reason we must be extremely carefully on who we elect to office because once they get in that position they receive a certain automatic credibility. It is also why we must be careful to listen to each individual on what they say not based on their diploma on the wall.
It’s quite frightening… but I forgot my gloves
This is some exciting news that all the news stations will be covering shortly if they haven’t already. Are you ready? It’s winter and it’s snowing!!!! Unless you live in the Middle East or Florida is this really news? What makes this news story so absurd is they’ll send reporters covering the snow from various locations. Hey we’ve got whiter snow (not racist) in Monsey then in Long Island. They’ll have different angles on the storm as well for example how do the youth deal with the snow. I’ve just been handing another breaking story….
“It’s a heat wave and it’s summer”.
I think it’s time to go and watch some football.
I believe there is no reason to terminate a healthy dog. Yet shelters all across America do so on a daily basis. This occurs because these shelter “don’t have room”. This shouldn’t occur! America is a big country and their are plenty of hearts that are empty, surely we can find the space and stop this awful practice. Here are just a few places (below) that dogs could make a difference but I’m sure you have many more suggestions. Let’s just decide to stop destroying a beautiful creature that brings so much love and joy to so many.
(1) Senior Citizen homes, where individuals are left alone for hours and a dog could be bring them comfort.
(2) Prisons, where individuals have lost all sense have humanity and the taking care of such an animal can help them get in touch with a more compassionate side.
(3) Hospices, where the loyalty of a pet during a time of transition can help someone peace in their last moments.
(4) Grieving Centers, where individuals can find warmth after a loved one has passed on.
(5) Finally a dog sanctuary where neutered dogs can live in an open area and be observed on how they interact with each other in a naturally setting.

What do Holocaust Survivors and Nelson Mandella have in common? In one word longevity. These individuals have gone through some of the worst conditions possible including sleep deprivation, unsanitary conditions, lack of proper nutrition, beatings, depression and yet still have lived long relatively healthy lives. Any one of these conditions could and did kill many but some how these individuals made it through. We have people today who watch every calorie they eat, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep and then die at an early age. How could this occur? I believe it is not only the inner will of the person that keeps them going but the plan G-D has in place for such an individual. It is not as if the person must be a saint for G-D’s protection but they must going in the right direction and fight at every opportunity to keep their dreams alive. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I know that I’m dating myself but I remember the debates going back and forth about boycotting South Africa because of Apartheid. On one hand Apartheid was a despicably act forcibly separating people just based on race yet on the other we were in the mist of the Cold War and it appeared to many that the ANC (led by Nelson Mandella) was a communist front. They feared that the release of Mr. Mandella would turn South Africa into another communist haven and this would even be more detrimental to not only those who lived in South Africa but the world as a whole. I state these facts because things may not appear as simple as many portray them to be.
Mr. Mandella became one of the greatest leaders of our time but like most great leaders it is not a process that came overnight. We all understand that the system of Apartheid and the slaughter of the innocent by the government was reprehensible but we almost must note that many innocent died by the acts of ANC ,which Mr. Mandella led. It is hard to say how one would act if they lived in such a state but just because we might act in a certain way doesn’t make it right. What made him the great leader is was once he was released from his prison he didn’t seek retribution from those that oppressed him and his people but sought reconciliation. Most importantly he brought all South African’s together as a people whether there skin color happened to be black or white.
