My husband watched my daughter walk by a group of boys today after a swim meet. She had gotten dressed for a dance at school and was wearing a short skirt and a bright red top with bright red pumps. One of the boys watched her walk by and asked the other boys, “Who’s that?” …
I gave a talk this past week to 55 people. Most people gave me good reviews; a friend said he didn’t think I shared my true self or my passion.He wanted me to do a better job of revealing myself to the audience. He felt disappointed that they didn’t get to know “me.” Two days …
I’m one of those people who is perpetually late. I’m usually not enormously late…just about 10 minute or so. I don’t plan on being late. I just am…late. Even now, I really should be out taking a bike ride before the sun starts to go down. I don’t have to meet anyone or anything like …
About a month ago I went to see a medium. I asked if my father, who died when I was seven, served as one of my spirit guides. I asked if a friend of mine who passed away 17 years ago guided me as well. I was told both of them were with me all …
I think of myself as a pretty grateful person. Most of the people I know consider me someone fairly focused upon gratitude. So, imagine my dismay when a friend called me onto the carpet for being…well…ungrateful. Ack! I was horrified. How could that be, I wondered? It seemed that I hadn’t said I was grateful …
As I watched the Super Bowl half-time show I considered whether or not Roger Daltrey and The Who weren’t singing to people all over the United States and asking them an extremely important question: Who are you? Now I’m not a big Who fan. (I’m also not a football fan, but my son and husband …
I’m having the hardest time getting my friend Dalana Castrell’s Jewish-themed artwork to post to my previous blog post. So, I thought I’d post a video of her speaking about her artwork-unfortunately not her Jewish-themed artwork-on PBS. This way you can get a sense of who she is. Dalana also makes crystal jewelry that looks …
Over a decade ago my husband became a Jew by Choice, which means he converted to Judaism. However, at the time, I vaguely remember someone-maybe the rabbi-telling me that non-Jews don’t really “convert” to Judaism. They actually just make an “affirmation of” Judaism. My friend Reb Yitzi Miller told me basically the same thing the …
Today I was reading a blog about this week’s parshah and came upon a teaching from Rav Kook, the former chief rabbi of Israel. He said the moment you were born is the exact moment that God decided the world could no longer function without you. So, your moment of conception had to be predestined and, …

I read Dwyer Gunn’s Freakonomics column in The New York Times today. I don’t normally read business-related articles, but someone specifically told me to read this one. I actually found it quite interesting. (Interesting enough not only to write about it here but also to write about it in my Examiner.com column today.) This column contains an interview …

Tonight, as I write this blog post, the full moon has risen–the full moon that marks the darkest period of the year. For many people, December feels like the darkest period of the year–emotionally and psychologically. The Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on December 21st. For these people, …
One of the first metaphysical or spiritual lessons I learned came down to five words: What you focus on expands. This lesson represents the crux of what now people call the Law Attraction, deliberate creation and conscious creation. I write about it often, and I’ve even published a booklet and e-book on the topic, called …
