Omega-3 for health

I am still waiting approval for this by my Dr. but my husband has been able to take it. I am hoping to see that his legs are getting stronger. He had an accident a few years back at his job, leaving him disabled. He has seen others with the same injury healed and walking with no problem while he is still in pain everyday when he walks.

This was a man who enjoyed working and took every overtime there is. Now he is in so much pain he doesn't want to do anything because of it. I think I only get him to go out at all because he wants to make sure I don't get hurt anywhere from my own disability.

I know he may never be the same again, but I would like him to have less pain then he does, and this is what we hope to get from this. Since his accident he has put weight on and I want to make sure that his heart stays healthy for as long as we can.

The best part is that this supplement does not taste fishy, and no fishy burps, which is why my husband was reluctant to try another kind. He is happy with the non fishy smell and is looking forward to the health benefits from taking it.

You can purchase Omega-3 supreme here or on Amazon.

Codename: Zosha

CodeName Zosha

written by

Yehudit Kafri

Most of my readers know I like to read books about World War II when it pertains to Nazi Germany or the Holocaust. That time in history is just so full of information I could just read about it everyday, watch movies, hear stories, see pictures, I think you get the idea. 

This book was more about Zosha's life and her story of fighting back, never giving up. The author did a great job of blending what she perceived to have happened and what actually happened from records, stories, and people who knew Zosha.  

Very different then what I am used to reading but still hit the mark on what I like to read about and gave me a glimpse into a another life during this time in history. A sad time were tragedy happened along with gains in science medical practice, etc, all in the name of genocide. 

We can all be thankful for things that happened during this time while mourning the deaths of so many innocent people who should have had a right to live on to be able to tell their own stories. People like Zosha stood up and tried to help others even if it cost her the very life she lived. A great book that any Heroine lover will enjoy. 

I only wish to be as strong as this lady if the day ever comes for me to stand up for what I believe in.

You can find Codename Zosha on Amazon.

Zosha Poznanska is an unsung Jewish heroine of World War II. Born in Kalisz Poland, she immigrated to Eretz Israel as a pioneer and for a brief time belonged to the group that founded Kibbutz Mishmar Ha'emek. Afterwards, she joined the Palestine Communist Party (Palestiner Kumunistishe Partie in Yiddish, abbreviated PKP), and from 1930 until her death she lived in France and Belgium. 

On the eve of the war she was recruited into the Soviet spy network known as the Red Orchestra, which operated in Western Europe. Zosha was part of the inner core of the network, a third of whose members were Jews. Apparently unaware of the Jews' participation in the Red Orchestra, Hitler declared, "The Bolsheviks surpass us in one area alone: espionage!" and he commanded his counterspies to eradicate this network at all costs. 

This book tells the story of Zosha Poznanska through all the chapters of her short life: childhood, the Hashomer Hatzair youth movement in Poland, Eretz Israel and the PKP in the 1920s, Europe in the 1930s and the Red Orchestra. It tells of her loves, her relationships with family and friends, her daring activity in the Red Orchestra and her heroic struggle in a Gestapo prison. The State of Israel posthumously awarded Zosha a medal of honor for fighting the Nazis. 

The book is written as a biographical novel and relies on exhaustive research; all fictional passages are derived from and based on extensive documentation. 
The book was awarded the 2004 prize for top literary achievement, by the Society of Authors, Composers and Music Publishers in Israel

Agility is key to sports

When I first recieved this I thought it was a emergency ladder, but quickly figured out it was a agility ladder, which is used to help accelerate speed, accuracy, and change of direction. Great for children who are playing sports, athletes wanting to improve their performance.

My girls are going to be doing this on their off days from sports for the year to keep them active during the winter so they are ready for the next sport on their list.

Kind of reminds me of the tires you had to run through growing up in school.





You can find the Ohuhu agility ladder on Amazon.
