Moshe Shorrick BDE

Today has not been one of those good days.
It started off in the morning when I got out of bed, got dressed and left to the post office to pick up a parcel that they had tried to deliver on Saturday when I was out.
I planned to walk to the post office, but as I walked out, I felt a pain in my leg, so decided to get the bus. As I got to the bus stop, a bus was just driving away.
I waited but the next bus never turned up.
I finally got to post office and was met with a sign: Open 8am -10am.
Seriously!? What a joke! Why open for two hours and out of the usual business times?
Got the bus back and stopped at the shops to buy stuff and brought a scratch-off lotto card and walked home.
I scratched the card and was pleased to discover that I had won £4. 
Then I received a phone call that shattered me: The man who held me at the beginning of my life, at my circimcision, Moshe Shorrick had passed away.
Moshe was someone special. He cared deeply for everyone but he had a special affection for me. He was always proud of my accomplishments and asking about me and, as his daughter Gila said to me today, also making sure that others knew of my accomplishments as well. 
I knew I had to go to the funeral to escort the man who escorted me into life on his final journey out of life.
So I left the house and went past the shop to claim my winnings. "I'm sorry but code seems to have rubbed off from wetness so you can't claim it," the shop assistant told me.
With that, I went to the funeral. I got a ride to the graveyard from the rabbi and was part of the funeral and remembered that's what moshe was about, he had so much trouble but he always wore a smile and gave always encouragment to others.
Yes we have bad times, but we have to carry on and push forward as if we don't go forward, things can go very backwords and if you reverse too far, you"ll crash.
Moshe, thank you for your support through my life. BDE.

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...
