Lucky, From Zero to Hero Audiobook!

Exciting news! This week I have forced myself to get out of my comfort zone. I have decided to do my very first audiobook production in English and German.

Our lovely Ambassador LUCKY was born during the lockdown in 2020 and has been our first Lily4Refugees Ambassador. Meanwhile, eight more adorable characters have joined our team. 

But LUCKY is very precious to us, so I had to do the voiceover myself. And I have to admit, doing voice-over is much harder than I thought. Especially when you do everything from recording to editing yourself. And when you have no acting or voice-over experience like my amazing German narrator Dirk Jacobs (Lilys Botschafter), Sharda Laskowski (Lilys Ambassadors), Carl Lindquist (Teddy & Lily), and Beverley Murray (Bon Voyage).

Nevertheless, I’m proud of my first audiobook production and I really hope you enjoy Lucky’s fun and inspiring story!

Lucky, From Zero to Hero

This is the story of an unhappy and nameless dog stuck in a smelly and unfriendly animal shelter in Ireland. Just when you think there is absolutely no hope for a better and more meaningful future, life surprises you. Lucky shares his incredible and exciting life story and how he became a hero from zero.

Lucky’s story will teach young listeners about the importance of education, school, and work. He was born during the lockdown and is the first Lily4Refugees Ambassador. That’s why he is very precious to the writers Lily and Sima Amis and why Lily Amis has narrated the story herself.

WTF!!! Stupidity is ruling our world!

What is going on? So much BS is happening right now and I feel like the world is going mad. Or maybe it has always been like this and I recognize it more and more lately. 

This week Ukrainian president Selenski was demanding Europe and USA for military support. He is making battle tanks and gun claims at Davos Forum. I quote “More weapons, but fast.” Seriously? As if more weapons are the solution!

According to the German TV channel RTL News this week, in 2021 Germany had a budget of 51 Billion for the military. France had 52 billion, Russia had 61 Billion and the USA had 740 billion. Do you see the numbers? 

The world could be a peaceful place for everyone if this amount of money would be invested in PEACE instead of sponsoring and creating bloody wars!

I honestly can’t believe that next month it will be one year since we are dealing with another war in the heart of Europe. I released my song4refugees “80 MILLION PEOPLE” only two days before the war started in Ukraine. In the following month, I released my anti-war song “BLOOD IS ALWAYS RED” and honestly I am worried about what will happen in the following weeks. I’m afraid that the situation will escalate because it becomes more and more obvious that it is in nobody’s interest to stop Russia. After all, war is a lucrative business. Rich countries and corrupt governments sell and buy weapons like they are selling and buying goodies and sweets!

And while Selenski is begging for more weapons, I see a sponsored post on Instagram from UNHCR with American actor Ben Stiller who is begging people to donate money for blankets and tents for refugee camps so that the refugees will survive the cold winter!

Seriously? I said it before and I say it again, blankets and tents are not the solutions. Only stopping bloody wars will end the global refugee crisis! Wake up! Stupidity is ruling our world and destroying innocent lives, today as well as tomorrow's generation!!!

THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD! I HAVE NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR SO MUCH STUPIDITY ANYMORE!

Lovely is heartbroken and desperately unhappy about the upcoming changes. What happened? Where is Josephine? Will the two ever be reunited?

Lucie shares her life story while she is stuck in a rescue boat crossing the ocean from the Middle East to Europe after she has lost everything back home because war has destroyed her life overnight. Fleeing from a war zone, there is only one thing that keeps the little dog looking forward: hope and a strong belief in a better and safer future!

Laila is a young orphan dalmatian living in a refugee camp in Greece. She often feels like an outsider and isolates herself from everyone because of the colour of her white fur, marked with black and brown-colored spots. But everything changes when a foreign lady opens an art workshop for refugee children. That’s the beginning of a joyful life for little Laila and all the refugees. All of a sudden, their gray and hopeless lives find some colour of happiness, and life-changing events are around the corner…

Global Media, seriously?

For weeks young Iranian are being executed for nothing but their desperate desire for freedom! But liberty is a human right, regardless of age, nationality, skin colour, gender, level of education, work position, income, lifestyle, IQ, and RELIGION! And every person who says otherwise is a fool, crazy, brainwashed, or simply criminal!

For weeks the media has only one single topic! PRINCE HARRY and his memoir SPARE. As much as I have understanding for this mentally and emotionally damaged young man, there are millions of innocent young Iranian right now, who are facing execution, and the ones who will survive the prison time are surely damaged mentally as well as physically for life!

As we all know now Prince Harry is not the privileged young prince that we thought he is. He suffered a lot of heartbreak and pain in his early life BUT now he has everything he wanted. He is married to the woman that he loves. They have two adorable children and he has all the freedom to live a happy, independent, and fulfilled life in freedom and wealth with limitless opportunities and possibilities. He is free to decide whatever he wants to do or to be in the future.

But what about those young Iranian who have absolutely nothing? No freedom. No hope. No future. No rights. No dreams. No goals. No opportunities. No possibilities. They have absolutely NOTHING! Who is talking about them? Who is helping them?

Honestly, I'm sick and tired of the corrupt global media coverage. Focusing on only one person’s misery and ignoring everyone else is brutal, heartless, and a CRIME!

Global Media, global world leaders, and politicians, the global human right organization, Embassies, where are you? WAKE UP! It is time to wake up and act. It is time to stand up and fight for EVERYONE's HUMAN rights! 

It is time to put an end to this unbelievable and unnecessary bloody crime! It is time to take your job as a journalist and reporter seriously. For the love of God, leave Harry live his life in peace and be the voice for the innocent and voiceless Iranians who are being KILLED for absolutely nothing but Freedom!!!!!

Remember and say their names: Mohsen Shekari, Majid Reza Rahnavard, Mohammad Hosseini, Mohammad Mehdi Karami - RIP !

Every single person in power who is witnessing this crime and is doing nothing (because of their benefits, contracts, and deals with this regime), remember KARMA is around the corner!
