Yesterday I became an expert in front of one of the most brilliant & well traveled people that I know and it came from a place I never expected. This person has attained incredible success in his field as well as traveled many a continent.  He is a  person who has experienced the finer things in life for over 30 years was estatic about the cheese I choose for a family party.  Yet it was a cheese I purchased not from some exquisite Cheese Shop or some special trip to the Islands but my local Stop & Shop. A delightful Cheddar with Horeseradish flavor that stuck to his palate.  Who knew my local Supermarket would make me a cheese connessior/expert. For you never know where great taste might actually come from.

Laps in the pool are great exercise but let’s face it they can be very boring and not to motivating until EXCITE GOGGLES !!  EXCITE GOOGLES will allow you to entertain your mind while you exercise your body with access to some of your favorite shows and music.  You’ll get the full effect of broadcast sounds with earplugs to boot. With a warning system to make sure you don’t truly get taken away that prevents you from crashing a wall.  These googles will having you swim longer and at a more enjoyable pace then ever before.   EXCITE GOOGLES isn’t it time you not only swimmed for your health but your enjoyment as well.

While every nation in the world has been able to name it’s own capitol the Israel’s have had this right denied from the world stage. Just as the Jewish people were denied basic human rights to the point of death in pograms and the holocaust throughout many periods in world history one nation has stood out for basic justice the United States. The same nation under the great leadership of President Trump that will recognize the right of this nation to determine it’s self determination as it opens up it’s embassy in Jerusalam. We should not forget the 7 other nations that have joined suit  Honduras, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau Guatemala and Togo. Yet for the most powerful democracy to take this brave step opens the door to a new window where Jews around the world feel a special pride that they are now more then ever part of the world community with justice and freedom.

There is one thing even the Trump Haters and Trump Lover’s (not literally) can agree on, that there is nothing like this President.  As such the changes the President brings to society are way behind any political sphere of influence.  There is no doubt that he is accomplishing a great deal and the only evidence against him is the backstory. Will people be judged on the same matrix by the work they are called on to do not but by their past actions or even words that surround them.  Actually performance will be the basis of promotion  in the workforce as talent rises to the top. Tommorrow if it sound or looks good won’t be enough but whether it is good. You might be able to talk yourself into a job but going on any further will depend on the results you bring to the table.   Of course this all depends on the historic take of the Trump Administration and who actually decides whether it looks good or really is good.

What price is obsene for these incredible paintings by David Hockney? For that matter what price is insane for any work of art? Art of course is in the eye of the beholder but I’m sure that beholder wants others to look at it with envy eye’s.  What would you pay to feel that you are on top only to be taken day when the next auction ups the ante? Or is it a piece you just have to add to your collection because stocks and bonds are getting a bit boring as an investment? Art is supposed to shock the establishment but it continues to be put in their collections.  It’s a strange paradox that causes one to think is the art shocking anymore or just the price tag?

Our test doesn’t began when things follow the path but when chaos weaves itself into our life. For when we are challenged are true colors come through and if we can make some order out of it then we will be ready for a more chaotic battle ahead….maybe.  We can not protect ourselves or loved one from the chaos that life can bring but we can give hold onto some basic principles/value to see them or us through to the end.  Chaos is coming so be prepared and if you are true to the core then your inner being will still be in order.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s and those who have acted in such a role when this person was missing in a loved one’s life.  For mother’s are people who are willing to put their children above their needs/desires and although some are genetically born with this disposition others fill this role in one’s life. Whether it be to due death, illness, divorce or just uncaring sometimes an uncle, aunt or even father becomes more of a mom then one’s birth mother could be.   So Happy Mother”s Day to all those priviledged to have one seen since their first trip down the canal to those who have only found one when things became a bit dark. You are great individuals who we in society couldn’t do without.

FOOTNOTE- Thank G-D I’ve been priviledged to have one from the start who has been their for me in and thick and thin.  Happy Mother’s Day Mom.

Is fame fair or just a reality show?  Many would believe by the pictures that I’ve shown that I’m concluding it truly isn’t.  Yet for some reason these individuals caught a vibe with the public where others have tried and failed.  Their style doesn’t having me linking them on my Facebook page instead it has millions of others which is an acknowledgement in itself.  Let us not argue about who deserves it now for in time only those who can keep it are the ones with the true talent the world will notice.

Who would have thought I could learn so much from a cookie. Yet it wasn’t some ordinary Chocolate Chip but Pepperidge Farmhouse and before you dismiss this with a glass of Milk please read further.  The “Cookie Revelations” is once you’ve made a step up it’s harder to deal with a step down.  For it wasn’t long ago that Nantucket Dark Chocolate was enough for my taste buds but now the flavor sensation has gone away. Years before that period I could actually enjoy a  Linden’s version of this type of cookie and now just the wrapper turns me away.  It’s not easy lacking but maybe it’s best to never know then to fall down from where you’ve been before. For when you fall all the pieces just might crumble before you even take a bite.

I’m afraid not in the sense of a shower scene but scene’s in my life when I’m put in this role of leadership. It is not that I’m afraid to state my position and make decisions on business, political or family matters (sometimes the water drips) but when people look to me as some spiritual leader then my hair becomes wet.  For although I’m a spiritual person who continues to research the truth in various forms I’m scared that others might find this path too wet for them.  It’s a path that I pray G-D has chosen for me to walk but I’m not sure there is room for many others to walk down this line. I’m always open to the discussion and would love to have many walk with me as well but the dichotomy is I’m afraid that I’m not the right person to be at the head of the pack. There are many more brilliant scholars and greater oratators who others including I should follow. Fear might be just the lever to keep me looking and listening to them as well.
