I sometimes need to remind myself to take a step back, remember how it was 6 years ago, when I started my business on the Internet in Hebrew. Most of the time, it felt like nothing- no activities, about 2 or 3 post- graduate courses, no seminars.
I knew that there were some thing every now and then, but it was so hush-hush, and word-to-mouth, that it was impossible to reach most of the practitioners or even most of the students.

6 years have past, and things changed dramatically.

And now we have jewelry.
