I love Barça & La Albiceleste, intelligent movies, mystery books, the company of cats and my other friends, vegan cooking, weird humor and happy surprises.
I worked for a year in a restaurant in Israel, as a night chef. I can cook a mean, delish dish, but I'm sorry -- these days it's gonna be a VEGAN one!!! ;)
I have a very strong sixth sense and have had my dreams come true many times. I've lived and worked in five different countries. I can also read palms. Also, I'm a cat whisperer. I have tamed quite a few ferals in my life.
My Philosophy
"Fairy tales, are more than true. Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be defeated." (Neil Gaiman)
"Being vegan helped me realize I can say and do what I believe is right. That's powerful. Nothing's changed my life more. I feel better about myself as a person, being conscious and responsible for my actions and I lost weight and my skin cleared up and I got bright eyes and I just became stronger and healthier and happier. Can't think of anything better in the world to be but be vegan."
~ Alicia Silverstone (actress)
What Gives Me Hope
Sea Shepherd, The Cove, animal right activisist... the example set by people with influence, such as the vegan actor Casey Affleck who works tirelessly for the animals and their rights, and the one and only Leo Messi.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
building more animal shelters and libraries, promoting vegan lifestyle, etc. I'd hate to be a Prez or a Mayor but if given the chance, I'd make all the changes I could before they impeached me ;)
What/who changed my life and why
The great stories read to me as a child because they fed my imagination, and the magical illustrations. One of them was Adams' Watership Down. It made me see animals as our equals, and was a great influence in me becoming first vegetarian, and later vegan.
Becoming vegan has done wonders to my health. I can really recommend it to everyone. Not only is it the most ethical choice, and the kindest to animals -- it's also the best one for your own health. It healed me of rheumatoid arthritis!
"I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul."
-- Jean Cocteau
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost."
-- J.R.R. Tolkien
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."
-- St. Augustine
"Things need not have happened to be true. Tales and adventures are the shadow truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes and forgotten."
-- Neil Gaiman
"There is not a thin line between love and hate. There is --- in fact --- a Great Wall of China with armed sentries posted every 20 feet between love and hate."
-- Dr. Greg House
"How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven."
-- Robert E. Heinlein
"Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends."
-- George Bernard Shaw
"I eat everything that nature voluntarily gives: fruits, vegetables, and the products of plants. But I ask you to spare me what animals are forced to surrender: meat, milk, and cheese."
-- Author Unknown
"Blessed is the servant who esteems himself no more highly when he is praised and exalted by people than when he is considered worthless, foolish, and to be despised; since what a man is before God, than what he is and nothing more."
