It’s that time of year again…S’lichot (or Selichot), the time of year when Jews begin preparing for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The first night of S’lichot was last Saturday. I chose not to attend services this year, although last year I was involved in leading them. This year I stayed …
A lot of times in my life I’ve been the brunt of people being down right mean to me, because they have simply judged me incorrectly. They made an assumption about me, and then they acted upon it in a hurtful manner. I’m getting pretty darn tired of it. Why do people feel the need …
Have you ever wondered why certain things just keep coming back into your life, almost like ghosts haunting you? I think they are the spirits of your unfinished business showing up in new and varied forms to make you face them once again and finally complete what you started. Complete. That term got used a …
Today I got really upset when another mother got really push about trying to get something to go her way. It’s a long story not totally worth going into. The short story goes like this: My daughter signed up for a new synchronized swim team that is just forming. Some other girls have decided to …
This summer my son suffered from an undiagnosed illness. For six weeks I had to juggle not only my work, which required meeting a variety of deadlines, but his needs and the other household duties I have, such as paying bills, cooking, etc. When my daughter was home, I also had to try not to …

Sorry for the long delay in posting. My website has been under construction, and we’ve had some trouble not only moving this blog but also converting it and all the old posts to WordPress. We should be up and running on a regular basis again soon. While my web master and I have been struggling …
“This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” Do you remember that song? I was thinking about it last night and told my son that he needed to sing it every day as his theme song. We’ve been talking about when he let his …
After more than a one month absence, I’m back…sort of. I feel a bit like I’m only half here, since my life seems just a bit crazy still. You see, while I teach people how to live life fully, mine has just a bit over full lately and totally unbalanced. I admit it; all I’ve …
Today, Israel turns 60! My father helped her gain her independence, serving first in the British army as an officer and later in the first Israeli army. In fact, my maiden name, and the name I use for business (Amir) was a name he selected just after Israel’s independence was declared and the officers of …

Back in the days when I was training to become a rebirther and was enrolled in a variety of workshops and classes offered the Loving Relationships Training, which is still run by Sondra Ray, I learned about something called my “response column.” Typically, when writing affirmations — you know, those positive statements meant to help …
Two important Jewish holidays fall during the month of May: Lag b’Omer and Shavuot. However, the first is often overlooked by less observant Jews – and it is little understood by many.
