During Yom Kippur, Jewish congregations atone for a litany of communal sins. They range from common ones to ones you rarely hear or think about. One sin, however, always sticks in my mind, because it a misdeed I typically don’t think of as a sin: negative thinking. Don’t get me wrong. I believe strongly that …
Yesterday I was supposed to be writing. Instead, I spent about five hours purging my office of paper. I wasn’t exactly sure at the time what that was about, but this morning I woke up, looked around my office, which still has quite a lot more unnecessary “stuff” that can be tossed, and knew exactly …
While I was in New York this past weekend, a friend made a comment that really bothered me. She said she’d always assumed that things would go her way, for example, that she’d get into the college she wanted, land the internship she desired or end up with the job she sought. And she always …

Sometimes, however, I need inspiration as well–I need to be reminded that I need to keep persevering even when something …
Lately I’ve been feeling stuck. I want to be unstuck. Ever been there? I’ve tried prayer. I talked to God. I cried to God. I pleaded with God. I tried counseling. And I got really honest with myself and with others, baring my deepest feelings. Today in the car I decided to follow Rebbe Nachman …
