3 of the 72 names of god

I used to study Kabala and I am connected to the practical side of it.
The 72 names are something to learn about a lifetime and from my poit of view- very worthwile ...
Every one of us has the power to change his destiny. One of the ways that can help is to study the table of 72 names.
You can read mot about it all over the net, and one of the webs is site4luck.com

This plate contains אלד- for strong defense against the evil eye and negative forces,

סאל- for abundance, power to influence, and improvement of financial status,
and מהש-for cure and health.

This one was sold to my friend Sarit,who put it on the miror of her car...

 

My father is gone...

Long time since my last post, my dear father passed away a month ago, so just now I am comming back to real life.

It is not easy at all, even though I am allmost 49 years old- a father is a father, and as a doughter I feel 8 years old girl who lost her dad..
This photo is of him when he was about my age, I was 8...



May god bless his soul...

I know,I know, I have to be a better blogger...

My dear on-line friend pcbysusan helped me to come back to myself...(and all of you will enjoy her art, I bet!)
I have been so buzy these days,
never like this in my life!!

As if I have changed the hard disc in my head...
Changing is the key word of this time for me, with all the difficulties and joyment of growth...

It is sooo hot here!!so I HAVE A GUEST BOOK...

A new Hamsa

I could hardly do anything today...

it was either going to the swiming pool (I don't like it...) or try

to not mouve at all....(I chose this... ;)



Now it is 3:00am, a bit cooler ,and I visited Louise Hill's great blog.

I admired the idea of a guest book and added one here as well!!



So pls feel free to add a photo of your work, the one you love the best,

and remember to leave your contact info for others to see!



It is on your right ...



great weekend to all!!

Sunscreen Song befor weekend...

Today some reminded me of a song I really admire,
love the words, so simple and yet sooo smart and cool...

listen to the class of 99 - Sun Screen Song!

Tha great words:

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99 (and beyond...)
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experienceI will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;
oh nevermind;
you will not understand the power and beauty of your youthuntil they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.
You're not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future;
or worry, but know that worrying is as effectiveas trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your lifeare apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind;
the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts,don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy;
sometimes you're ahead,sometimes you're behindthe race is long, and in the end,it's only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.the most interesting people I know didn't know at 22what they wanted to do with their lives,some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees,you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't,maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't,maybe you'll divorce at 40,maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary,what ever you do, don't congratulate yourselftoo much or be rate yourself eitheryour choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you candon't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it,it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own..
Dance even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents,
you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings;
they are the best link to your past and the peoplemost likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestylebecause the older you get,the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once,but leave before it makes you hard;
live in Northern California once,but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise,politicians will philander,you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasizethat when you were young prices were reasonable,politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund,maybe you have a wealthy spouse;but you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair,or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy,but, be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia,dispensing it is a way of fishing the pastfrom the disposal, wiping it off,painting over the ugly parts and selling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen!

good morning world!
