23 & Me

 My two sisters did 23 & Me and forwarded me their results. We always identified ourselves as 1/2 Irish 1/2 Italian & Catholic. One of my sisters world was rocked when her results turned up that she is 9% Hasidic Jewish. Every siblings results are slightly different. My other sisters results came back only 3% Hasidic Jewish. I’m guessing my result will bring back a higher percentage of Hasidic Jewish than either one of my sisters. I would welcome that. I am prepared for it. I always saw myself in the curls of Hasidic Jewish men. I always wondered why we had such similar hair? Well, mystery solved! Hasidic Jews are the most devoutly religious of their religion. They are very deep and reverent. They adhere to their religious rules very strictly. I wish I was a more fervent believer and a seeker of a deep connection with God. I think I am leaning a bit more Kabbalah, at this point. I believe Kaballah offers the kind of mysterious magical and spiritual guidance that (hopefully) could help me right now. As I have said before, I am accepting prayers from all people. I am saying a prayer for us all now.

 My mother was told that she had an American Indian ancestor, but unfortunately, that was not found to be true. All of our ancestors came from Europe, so that wouldn’t be possible. I was surprised that no African came back in our results, as Italians and Africans had much cross migration throughout European history. Anyway, this was a great distraction from all the annoyances and the malice that has been directed at me.
