I’m heading home for Thanksgiving…to my mother’s home. We have a family reunion each year during this holiday. It’s not always the most joyous time nor is it always a time when I feel tremendously thankful for my family. I have a family that can be difficult to get along with–and that’s putting it mildly. …
Two weeks ago I attended the San Francisco Writing for Change Conference. There I met an amazing woman: Cami Walker. She authored the book 29 Gifts and started 29Gifts.org. Cami lives with the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. While she suffers from many of the symptoms and for a while could hardly walk, she now mostly …
The other day I read something interesting: According to Jewish teaching, two types of “good” exist. There is objective good and subjective good. When we desire good things and long for good things and try to manifest good things in our life–or things we perceive or judge as “good,” fall into the category of subjective …
Not long ago I wrote a post in which I asked what people do to make themselves happy. I also publish many of my posts at VibrantNation.com, and there I received a comment from someone struggling with HOW to be happy. The woman’s daughter was struggling with a difficult situation. With Thanksgiving and the holiday …
Have you ever heard a piece of music and found yourself crying as you listened to the words or melody? Have you ever watched a movie and cried the whole way through even though no one else found it sad? Have you ever sat in a religious service and felt moved to tears? Have you …
Recently I’ve been trying to help my daughter through a particularly low patch in her life. A freshman at college, she’s felt depressed and lonely. We’ve had many conversations during which I had to listen to her muffled words as she cried and blew her nose. As my heart broke and I tried to hold …
Many people feel passionate about creating change in the world. They can do so in a variety of ways. However, many of them write books. I know something about this since I am a writer and a professional editor and author advisor. I have dreams and aspirations of writing books that change people’s live. I …
So many of us don’t pursue our dreams out of a fear of failure. We feel afraid that we won’t get it right, our work won’t be perfect, we will find ourselves ill equipped for the task, we won’t be good enough or will be thought uncredentialed, we will give up or for some reason, …

Today I’m writing about something that will read a bit like a news story. Yet, this subject hits close to home for me. We continue to read about youth suicides driven by horrific homophobic bullying. As a parent whose two children have both been scarred by the death of friends by suicide and of a …

On Erev Yom Kippur, my rabbi, Eli Cohen, gave a moving sermon about Psalm 23. This psalm is most often read after someone dies, so for most of us it bears a negative connotation. Yet, it is meant to offer us consolation during difficult times in general, not just when someone has passed on. If …

For Jews, fall always arrives with the High Holidays—sometimes early in September, like this year, sometimes as late as mid October. For most other people it comes with the autumn equinox.
