Summary
While we seldom feel blessed when challenges arise, they can provide us with a lot of good information if we’re willing and open to looking at things from all sides. In fact, kabbalists teach a concept called Olam Hafuch, an upside-down world. What if positive and negative switched places? In this upside-down world, what seems like a disaster may actually prove to be a great gift in the long run. In this very special episode recorded in front of a live audience, Michael, Monica, and their daughter, special guest Abigail Berg, discuss The Gift of Being Different. Together, Monica and Abigail created The Gift of Being Different, a new children’s book that follows Abigail as she discovers what makes us different is, in fact, our superpower.
“Everybody is different. And when we really accept that and honor that idea, we remove fear and judgment. And we’re able to embrace the uniqueness that everybody has to offer.” – Monica Berg

| 0:46.0 | But it is a month of extremes. |
| 0:49.3 | And we tend to see things in terms of black and white. |
| 0:53.8 | And there's an opportunity tonight for this whole month to be able to challenge ourselves to not accept that kind of it's either good or bad, positive or negative, black or white. |
| 1:06.0 | And everything we're going to talk about tonight supports that idea. |
| 1:09.3 | We know also, Kabbalistically referred to the month of Scorpio as Mar, |
| 1:14.9 | Cheshvan, which means bitter. And we have the opportunity tonight and in this month to reverse |
| 1:20.5 | that order, Mar to Ram, which means exalted or elevated. So it's really about elevating our |
| 1:26.6 | thoughts, our consciousness, and our ability |
| 1:28.5 | to see gifts through our biggest challenges. Would you like to add anything? Oh, also, I didn't |
