I always try and stay out of politics in other countries, enough to worry about here in the US…lol…but this was a great and informative discussion for sure. I just hope that the continued problems with leadership does not get in the way of bringing the hostages home and THEN finishing off the war, I hope Israel has a plan in place although it seems neither you or Jonathan believes there is a plan, which is always concerning. I do have to mention you look completely adorable and I so appreciate your hard work!! Thank you Vivian!

awwww.....thanks, Lisa! I'm in Toronto and cannot wait to go to my long-time fave hair stylist this week...:) It's always gratifying to know that our subscribers learn from the work we do......and we learn so much from one another too. The situation in Israel now is really serious, as you heard us discuss. Right after October 7 everyone pulled together but that did not address the very deep social divisions.....and they have only become worse. We see no evidence of a plan - other than to keep the coalition in power. And that means prioritizing war over hostages. It's maddening.

I picked up on that. I saw on X today, Egypt came up with a new hostage plan and US backs it. If it is true, I hope politics don’t get in the way of Israeli approving. The hostage video released by Hamas today was heart wrenching.

On the lighter side, I know about favorite hair stylists! When I was transferred to Michigan, I drove 8 hours to St Louis and 8 hours back every month for 3 1/2 years to visit mine! Lol
