Today, President Barak Obama accepted his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslow, Norway, as the world debates whether or not he deserves the award. I’ve been asked if I think President Obama deserves a Nobel Peace Prize… I don’t think I’m one to judge. I tend to not be very politically minded. I do, however, have some […]

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

Today I was reading a commentary written by Rabbi Label Lam on this weeks parsha, the weekly torah portion. It happens to be about the reunion of Jacob and Esau, but it pertains to the giving and receiving, an important Kabbalistic concept that typically comes to the forefront of our minds during the holiday season. Just when

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,

For most Jews, it feels difficult to get into the Chanukah spirit when the whole world seem so intent on getting into the Christmas spirit. Everywhere you turn, you see Christmas decorations, sales, lights, articles, candy… It’s almost impossible to walk into a store, doctor’s office or non-Jewish friend’s house without hearing Christmas music, not

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

Have you ever felt inspired? Has someone ever inspired you? Last night I took my son, who aspires to become a professional dancer, to see Rasta Thomas dance. Rasta Thomas has been his “idol” for some time now. He wants to dance like him…Rasta inspires him to be a great dancer. However, seeing Rasta on

I thought we should have a post Thanksgiving Day gratitude post to continue the energy of thanksgiving a bit longer. So, here are three little “gifts” to help you keep feeling grateful a bit longer. I recently read something interesting. In Hebrew, the word for “turkey” is “hodu” and is etymologically related to the word

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. While most of North America finds reason to feel grateful on this day, everyone the whole world over can work on having an attitude of gratitude on this day…as well as every day. So much of having an attitude of gratitude involves simply training ourselves to feel gratitude and to see

More than one source has said that the world has entered a crucial time, a period when things seem to be falling apart or coming to an end. However, sometimes things have to fall apart before they can be put back together in a new form, a better organization. Has your life ever felt as

Today I’m feeling grumpy and depressed. I’m angry, too. These are not emotions I usually like to dwell in, and I don’t recommend that others do so either. They don’t lend themselves to helping us consciously create what we want in our lives. In fact deliberate creation becomes difficult when we get stuck in negative

My recent trip back to home, as well as to Syracuse University, where I earned my degree in magazine journalism, Westchester County, where I took my first two jobs right after college, and New York City, where I worked prior to leaving New York State for good, left me thinking about the path I have
