Can you identify one particular moment or experience in your life ......?

that changed you or your thinking for ever ...?

Yes, It was 1998, I had been running a business for 7 years 7 days a week 12 hours a day. I was depressed. I had nothing in my life for myself. Only material things. And in one month I sold all and flew. Flew to Kashmir, and to see people that had war for 50 years , alot of the time no work, no food, but yet had the biggest smiles and hospitality and peacefulness that I had never experienced in my life. I found peace in the middle of war in a very humble people. I stayed for 3 years volunteering to teach English. And I changed , my political thinking , my soul, my heart, everything about me changed...forever! Peace!

Yes, when I was told that my mom was dying. I was in 6th grade.

The assassination of Robert Kennedy. It was the third blow after JFK and MLK, and I look at that as the time I lost my youthful hopefulness and trust.

You may call me crazy ... but there was a moment in my life when I got in touch with my Guardian Angel ... I actually FELT his presence with me ... from that moment on I feel blessed all the time ... since then I'm trying to be a better person so my Angel won't be disappointed in me ...

I think when we decided to leave lebanon and live in another country. I had to adapt quickly to a different life.

Well, let me see....

i trusted someone (work) and he turned out to be a liar and a theif, so from that day, i never trust anyone easily! because really my life was turned upside down because of what he did, and if it wasnt for him, i will be happy in paradise and not shovelling his messes that damaged my life!

yes, i always live in the clouds, and one day when my 1st born was a few weeks old she was crying for hours, and i felt stuffed, i was so annoyed, i didnt feel young anymore, and i just remember saying out loud, ''BEING A MUM IS NOT FUN''

ill never forget that moment, cos thats the moment where it hit me that i had a hard job ahead of me,,, and i did and still do, especially with 4 kids now, lol


but i can now say that it is fun!!!!!!!!! ive matured alot in 11 years! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No, but I know that I am a work in progress.
everything teaches me a lesson and shapes me further.

when I met people from other religions andrealized they are not "alliens" or "monsters".. war has made us so fanatic and narrow minded!!! (our parents shall I say)..

There was a time where i thought my cousins were the best and i could trust them and all that,but when it came to experience with them,i know from then i should never ever trust anyone in my life except my family!!

And befor the war 2006 in Lebanon,i always use to nag a lil bit about Lebanon and how it is and i want to travel out and dont want to come back to this country ever,but when the war started,after a week i went to Syria,and when i was over there,all i could feel was pain inside of me and my heart aching so bad cuz of whats happening in Lebanon.So after the war was over,i have loved Lebanon more than love,even words cant explain,i have become more touched to my country!!

When my aunt was killed in an auto accident, we were very close, her daughters were like my sisters, I had a sadness with them for years after, and it made me realize that everything I do can affect many people, not just one or not just me, but whole families can be affected by my actions. It helps me to think before I do something crazy.

The moment I knew I'm at last graduated, I then had the intention to do my best in practical life to achieve my dreams.

I agree with Webby, I麓m being changed by the minute, being molded by new experiences all the time but certainly the day I asked Jesus in my heart started a new life for me. Then when our daughter was born I realized my life would never again be exactly just mine ... I now would be eternally responsible for that new being that God had trusted me with and so it is ... being a mother is living your life and your children麓s lives.
