I think of inspiration like a child who needs encouragement and positive responses from a parent. If you don’t encourage the child when it behaves appropriately or in ways that you see as “good,” eventually the child decides those behaviors aren’t worth repeating.

Do you know what you want…specifically? If you ask for what you want clearly and intelligently, you will get it. Maybe it won’t happen the first time. Sometimes you have to play around with how you ask or find more clarity about what you desire. But you will receive what you ask life to give

Despite the fact that the observance of Chanukah revolves around the lighting of candles in the menorah, or chanukiah, often Jews find themselves in the dark when it comes to making this holiday meaningful and spiritual.

People change. Sometimes they change for the better, sometimes they change for the worse. There’s a person in my family that I haven’t seen in a number of years that I had to spend time with recently. We tend to avoid each other. We don’t get along. However, we managed this time to be civil
Yesterday my 17-year-old daughter graduated from high school. Thursday marked her last day of classes, Last night we attended the graduation ceremony. I know she is graduating, but to a certain extent, I feel I am as well. We are both graduating to the next phase of our lives together. She goes off to college

I’ve always known that the writing and speaking I do in the area of human potential and personal growth contains an element of spirituality. Of course, my writing and speaking on the topic of Judaism, Kabbalah, and practical spirituality has a spiritual nature as well. I never saw the spiritual nature of my work as
