• This POST is for YOU. I may express my personal thoughts, but it is because I feel your pain, and I want to allow you more opportunities to share YOURS.

    For as many searches to my blog for ‘make money online’ stuff, there are equal amounts for ‘Meir’ or ‘Mikey Volk’. I don’t know if this mean my blog sucks or that Meir had an impact on MANY. I’m going with the latter.

    The point is, I want YOU to leave comments. Anonymous, or with names, just say hello, and let us know you are still thinking of him. You are not alone. All your comments on previous posts have been very touching.

    Last night I attended a ‘Siyum’ in memory of Meir (Mikey) Volk. This is a completion of a significant amount of Torah Study done in honor of his memory. It wasn’t hard to find scholars willing to do this, as Meir had supported so much of their learning with his generosity.

    Today I will go to the gravesite.

    Someone posed a question last night. How has your life changed in this past year since his passing?

    It is not the first, second, or third time I have thought this. It is on my mind quite often.

    Everything Meir did was BIG.

    His presence was BIG (well over 6 feet tall)

    When he spoke about business, it was with a LOT of passion, and excitement

    When he spoke on intellectual subjects, your head would swim

    When he made money, he made it BIG

    When he gave charity, he gave 75 cents to every dollar earned.

    The list could go on, but I will allow his family to share the rest as they desire.

    The impact he had on my life, my career, my outlook has been just as BIG.

    In fact, when I ask how my life has changed… my thought is

    “what has stayed the same?”

    If you are driving towards a destination (albeit unknown) and suddenly you take a right turn, instead of a left turn, your entire future has changed in that small move.

    Thank you Mikey for thrusting my life into the unknown, making me work by butt off, and allowing me to draw from your passion for living to embrace what the future brings.
