and every one of them words rang true, and glowed like burnin' coal: Making a dent...

I'm feeling inspired, and I thought this was a good one to share. I got an email forward today from my mom about a woman named Irena Sendler.

Irena Sendler

There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive' ...She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids.) She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi ' s broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family. Most of course had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2009 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize ... She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

I hardly ever read email forwards, and I figured it was gonna be ther 212312398th I got about that Britain's got talent lady, haha, but I am so glad I read it. I spent some time doing research on this remarkable woman, and found that what the email said WAS true, and was very inspired to find lifeinajar.com - a website made by a group of US students who were very inspired by her story as well. As a challenge from their teacher, they had to do a project about a person who changed the world; they found info about her, found HER, wrote a plsy about her life and years later are still performing it around the world. Truly inspiring.

I'm a big believer in karma and the universe, and after doing all this research, I found alot of things to be interesting: She died on the birthday of the girl who reached out to her the most during the lifeinajar project, and lots of other dates meshed like that. I found this story today, and then look at what I found on the website.
