Whoops that was "gif" (as in small pic), not goof, not sure how that happened! -
Robert
Hey, Karmatube! I think *many* more people would watch this *amazing* video if you'd include a goof pic of her, not the Karma Tube sign. I've posted it on FB, but it's just your sign on the post and the words are partially hidden, too. You guys are great, but sell the sizzle here, she's *incredible* and definitely more of what people will want to tune into more than (apologies), a sign they've seen many times! -

Alice Herz Sommer, a most remarkable woman! I am convinced that her laughter and optimism is the key to her very long life. I will be getting one of the books written about her, A Century of Wisdom.

Nothing can compete with that! -

I am moved by such spirit, the will to live, regardless of what is before us, that we have choices of which path to take. Accepting the past as lessons learned, forgiving and letting go of hurt and fear, moving ever forward. Holding tight and true to gratitude, optimism and knowledge. I have lived my life an Ally and Advocate, and people like Alice let me know I am doing the right thing. It is not about possessions and money, but the genuine depth of the human spirit all around us. Thank you Alice....for being an inspiration to all. -

It's amazing to hear Alice say the same things about life I have always said. Being an optimist and always learning and doing, looking forward and being grateful, seeing the "bad" as challenges and opportunities.....these are some of the things on which we agree. She is another gift in a rich life, for which I'm so thankful.
