My Sleepless flight

In my last blog, I told you I was at the airport for my trip home. I boarded the Virgin Atlantic flight and sat in my seat. The purser came up to me, as I'm a frequent flyer on Virgin, and introduced herself, apologizing she didn’t have space for a complimentary upgrade but offered me a bulkhead seat with extra leg room. I jumped at the opportunity and immediately after take-off she returned and led me to that seat. I sat in the empty row and started watching a movie. Very shortly afterwards, a woman with a child came along, looked at me and called a stewardess. It turns out that her daughter was supposed to sit in the seat next to me while she was in Business Class. She yelled at the stewardesses for moving me, claiming as that the kid is only 13 they promised her the row to herself. The stewardess said this was not possible. The woman looked at me with an evil eye and said "I don't want him sitting next to her", as if I was a sex offender. The head steward told her that she didn’t have a choice, at which point she turned to her daughter and said "Don't talk to him." Now if she would have said "Don't talk to anyone", I wouldn’t have minded. I understand safeguarding. But to say "Don't talk to him", makes me sound like a criminal. This made me upset, and I cannot sleep when I am upset. Eventually, after a good meal and a few movies, we landed in London, and I made my way back to Manchester. 
A week later I was off to Israel for a friend's book launch, which was very successful. It was so good to see how happy my friend was with his new book .
I flew back home and had a few meetings online.  
I also had a MRI on my stomach, and hopefully soon we'll have the results to work out what's with my stomach.   
I was interviewed for a podcast in the USA and started my final coursework for university.  
That ends June..

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...
