Tag Archives: Because I Believed in Me (My Egyptian Fantasy Came True)
On Tuesday, October 8, 2013, I discussed the Jesus Moringa Farm (Egypt) and the World Peace Forest (Africa) project. Today I will share a poem I created many months ago that will describe in great detail the benefits of this incredible plant. Hopefully after you read it, you will have a much better understanding why the moringa tree is called the “Miracle Tree” by scientists and many others.
The list of amazing people I have befriended on Facebook that is now a real and lasting friend is one of my heroes—– Max (Mahmoud Max Hassouna), an Egyptian born man who spent much of his life living in Kenya and also in England where he is also a British citizen. Max is one of the most interesting men I have ever met. At one time he worked for United Kingdom Specialized Security Firms, but because of a tragic family…..
Today’s blog was inspired this week because of my genuine love and respect for Egypt and the citizens there. I decided to share a poem I wrote just a few days ago. I hope you will enjoy it and the attached photos. I hope after you read it, you will want to visit my second home one day. Egypt is truly a magical land not just because of its amazing past civilizations but because of the modern…..

This is the first blog in hopefully a long series of blogs about current Egypt called EGYPT’S CRUSADE FOR MODERNIZATION. As the world has witnessed since January 2011, Egypt has been experiencing many struggles in its efforts to become a true democratic nation and a future world power. Because of this, the media has concentrated mainly on the revolutions with its numerous protests of which some of them have become violent and have resulted in deaths and injuries of its…..
To find a true friend, you must also be a true friend. Gandhi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Thus, this could also be interpreted as “be the friend you want to have.” I have found that for the most part, I attract friends whose lives and characters reflect or “mirror” my own life. I don’t feel I have to change to be what other people want me to be. There…..
