Happy Ramadan to Islam and for anyone who's interested in learning about Ramadan etiquette.
1) Fasting from sunrise to sundown
2) No eating, drinking, smoking, sexual activity, or unkind or impure thoughts & immoral behavior
At the end of Ramadan, there is a three day celebration called Eid. Much eating, drinking, dancing and having fun!
Greetings Everybody!
This post is to announce that I have received my life coaching certification from Transformation Academy. I will be helping women achieve their dreams in life. And along with helping them, from a budgetary dimension, they will learn etiquette & protocol skills as well.
Stay tuned for an upcoming website.
Love & Peace,

Negotiation Strategy: What Germans Accept as Evidence
Data, data, data: Germans depend upon objective facts. Emotional involvement is unacceptable in negotiations. Once a position is decided upon, Germans rarely budge, which gives them the reputation for being tough negotiators.
A strong faith in their social democratic ideology influences Germans' perceptions of the truth.
Happy Spring!!
Yesterday, I learned that I have been elected to the Town of Brookhaven Republican Committee for 2 years. I can't believe it!!! I am so thankful to God and to anyone who created this opportunity for me. A dream come true!! I will strive to do my best to serve this community and to represent the Republican Party. THANK YOU!!!! I really wish my Dad was here to enjoy this experience with me. I may also try to make politics a little less serious. I just want to be myself, do good and legal things and I like to see people smile and be happy.
Enjoy decorating for Spring! Go out and smell the flowers and plant some seeds.
TEAM GOP!!

This past weekend my dear Uncle Drew passed away. We had a very close relationship. He was a true gentleman, worked hard all his life and well liked in our community. Once again, I was reminded of how short life really is. A lesson I had first learned when my father passed so many, many years ago. It was difficult for me to partake in the events of his final arrangements and decided to just be alone for a time of reflection. And to also stay away from the group gatherings. My uncle was a great community leader and owned a beverage shop in town. He was asked to run for office, but turned down the opportunity. I never had a chance to ask him why.
During this time of reflection, I decided to once again try to contact my local leadership for direction. And today I finally had the opportunity to talk to my Town Councilman Neil Foley. I am grateful for this. He decided to meet with me to discuss my political future, as he suggested I start running for my local school board. You never know. I shall meet with him within the next week, so let's see what his advice is.
In the meantime, I continue with my life coaching training and Ph.D. dissertation research.
As we have passed the one year point of this pandemic, let us still be ever vigilant of wearing our face masks, washing hands and staying away from large gatherings. Keep the strength and pray for one another.
Love & Peace,
Ilona
Greetings Everyone!
I'd like to take this moment to congratulate President Biden on becoming America's 46th President! And the outstanding feat of Vice President Harris as she becomes a guiding leader to young girls all over the world that anything is possible.
On the dawn of this new era in America, I've decided to revoke my dreams of wanting to be President of the United States in 2040. I've written about it in my memoirs, sent out numerous emails all around the world and even had support from my family and friends. But, I'm sorry. I just can't do it. I wish to lead a more quiet, simple life and try to have more fun along the way. I think a political career would be too serious for me and I really like to be able to sleep at night not having to worry about anything.
Please understand this decision. Right now, I have started training to be a life coach. I will have more fun doing this.
Thank you all for your support in my dreams. But, don't let this deter you. Continue to pursue your dreams.
Love & Peace,
Ilona😀
