Birthday Blog

Today is my birthday, 36 years ago in Sunderland I was born. 
Not many people know that I'm not a true Mancunian, I'm actually a ‘mackem’ born in Sunderland and only at the age of four did I move to Manchester. But Manchester is always my home, I never knew Sunderland and don't even think I’ve even been back to the town since we moved from there.
This year is the first time I celebrate my birthday as a married man and it started with the gift of a big birthday balloon from my wife. Tonight we are going out to a restaurant for dinner.
My Grandmother from Holland used to phone me up every year and wish me happy birthday. It’s always a stark reminder that she's not around anymore, when I don’t get ca call from her, but the countless messages on all my social media networks really make my day.
There are also a few treats I can redeem on this day on some of my apps, such as free donuts and coffee.
Currently, I am in university class on Zoom, trying not to fall asleep!
Today, my second sky box arrived, which means all I need to do is set it up and I have a second TV which will work on multiscreen so I can start watching a movie in the lounge but then I can move to the bedroom and continue watching the same movie from the spot I left off.
In life we have to take the opportunities in front of us and utilise them.
In Jewish folklore, there is the belief that the blessing given by someone celebrating their birthday is a powerful one, so I'm blessing all of my readers today that they will succeed in all their ventures.

short Update

I haven't written a blog for a long time, obviously with the war going on in Israel and Gaza a lot has gone on and I've been extremely busy but I wanted to update you all a bit , I'm sitting on a plane back from Budapest at the moment on the way to cover an event for Maariv, it's a bit chilly so I'm wearing my Manchester united Jacket I got from Loofes store in Bury , Loofes is a great place to get clothing from elegant to sportswear and it helps that one of the owners Mike Loofe is a very good friend of mine so I get the employee discount, in overhead cabin is my Samsonite cabin bag , I love Samsonite and travel everywhere with them if anyone reading works with Samsonite I wouldn't mind some sansonite goodies.....  I've travelled a fair bit over the past few months to the point Esther said to me they should forward your mail to Manchester Airport and she may be right ...    but this trip was special to me in several ways I travelled to Slovakia not only ...

Reflection of a year to Blog

It has been just over a year since I started publishing my blog. I started writing a blog on the advice of Hillel Fuld in order to enhance my career and get more people informed about what I do. Unfortunately, as of yet, that hasn't happened, Hillel doesn't get everything right. But in a way, the blog has become a sanctuary for me to talk about my achievements, air my grievances, and let myself feel better in life. I think through the blog I have found clarity in myself on different aspects of my life, I have learned things about myself and what is necessary for me to change and I have learned skills I have that I never thought I needed or could utilise.  In sales, one must believe in the product to sell it. Through the blog, I learned that I need to believe in myself in order to sell myself. It has given me the confidence to push for things I wouldn't have necessarily done. This weekend, I was talking to a friend Martin Heimann who owns a telecommunications company in Manc...

My country is at war

I had written my blog for August and September, they were going to go up very soon but I can't put up trivial things when my country is at war, when my people and friends have been kidnapped and murdered by terrorists calling themselves freedom fighters for Palestine.  Make no mistake Hamas is not Palestine and does not represent any faction of Palestine, they are a terrorist group that cause harm to the Palestinian cause. Any person that harms civilians for their own benefit is evil. Hamas, besides the atrocities they committed last week, use civilians as bait , not allowing them to get to safety and making sure their terrorist headquarters are in vulnerable areas such as childrens' schools and UN hospitals.  As a Zionist Israeli and a left wing activist, the horror on both sides is intense, I lost friends and colleagues; innocent people, civilians who wanted to live. Also in Gaza, people have died due to being held hostage by Hamas, over 200 Israelis have been kidnapped by...
