When I speak at writers’ conferences, I often get asked how I “do it all.” I answer by discussing the time I spend on different tasks and joke about spending a lot of time at my desk. I hem and haw about the other parts of my life, but I’m not totally honest. So I …

I was browsing through my Facebook feed this morning and saw numerous pictures of Christmas trees, holiday parties and status updates about family gatherings and special recipies. I started to wonder if everyone finds this focus on Christmas, or the winter holidays, uplifting. I actually know they don’t. I celebrate Chanukah, which this year came …
The other day I shared with my husband for the hundredth time (or more) how I planned to try and complete a book project I started many years ago. Doing so will cost me a lot of money—money that definitely could be better spent elsewhere in my business. I’ve even brought in a partner for …

The other day I was speaking with a dancer about perfection. Dancers constantly strive for perfection, but it’s an unattainable goal. No matter how well they perform, no matter how seemingly perfect their last pirouette, no matter how amazing their last double tour…it can always be better.

We can choose to associate with people who are successful, to find mentors who can teach us or to surround ourselves with supportive friends and colleagues.

Tomorrow begins the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Repentance. It comes after 10 days of introspection when we explore the sins we’ve committed and how to rectify them. We ask for forgiveness from those we’ve wronged as well as from God. There are three types of sins in the Jewish traditions: sins …
The Jewish High Holy Days are upon us. They are blown in with the shofar blast marking the New Year on Rosh Hashanah. Ten days later, the holiday ends with Yom Kippur, the Day of Repentance. During this time, we go inward to determine how to become our best selves and to connect with something …
I believe our external world reflects our inner world. So, when my shower and bathtub, as well as my toilet, began to back up, I had to ask myself why my shit was up—or what shit was up (excuse my language). Of course, I share the bathroom with my husband, so whatever was sewage was …

What does it take to make you appreciate your life? And what does it take to make you realize you need to make some changes in your life? What does it take to make you live fully and fulfill your potential? Do you need to have a big wake-up call, like a near-death experience or …
