Since I was a kid, I was curious about the world and about us as a species living in it. As a kid I preferred to spend most of my time walking the dogs of my neighbourhood and volunteering at the zoo, I found it easier to communicate with animals. In 1992, After the Gulf war, something has changed in me and I moved from protecting animals to protecting humans, I join a shooting range centre and practice shooting with various weapons. Later in life I traveled for couple of years around the world and ended up in New York, where I lived for 5 years. While I was there I practice kung-fu, worked as web designer and finished my master degree in administrative science. On 9/11 I was on my way to work. That event brought me back to asking the million dollar question: "Is this what it's all about? Is this our purpose in life? To hate and feel hated?" I lost hope. The discovery of the ancient Mayan calendar and the prophesies surrounding it brought the light back to my life. The Mayans and their Tzolkin calendar gave me hope. For it's been written thousand years ago that a change will come and that the world can become a better place, but it's up to us humans to decide if we want to go through the change or not, and if we do, we must do it together. In 2005 I left New York and worked as kung-fu instructor and co-funded a web design studio. Galapula was born during the recession of 2008. The idea came to me in a dream and I started writing it as I woke up. This is a book that will charge people with optimism and joy, and even if it's just for a short time, it's influence can restart an inner process. As a new mom, I see my kid looking at the world as a place of miracles, where every day there is new exciting information to learn and play with. It makes me realize that we come here to this world with the frequency of curiosity, joy and optimism embedded in us. So if it's inside of each and one of us, I truly believe that all we need to do is remember. Visit my website: www.galapula.co.il
