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. The child then turns to different or undesirable behaviors. In the same …
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.

I’ve been struggling with how to write this post ever since I heard about Robin Williams’ death. Depression and suicide are such touchy subjects. It’s hard to write about them without offending someone in the process. I’m no stranger to suicide. My daughter’s best friend took his life after their freshman year in high school, …

If you had to make a big change tomorrow, or next week, could you? Are you ready for change? Or would you find it difficult to take on a big change in your life? I found myself thinking about this in the last week or two. My husband has been looking for a new job …
A strange thing happens to me when my life feels out of control in any way. I start cleaning. I don’t mean just dusting and vacuuming. I don’t do that much of that. (I admit that the one splurge I allow myself in my life is a person who actually cleans the house every two …
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 …
This week I celebrated my 50th birthday by attending a three day writing retreat. I treated myself to two extra days on the site. Everyone just left but one woman who is staying an extra day and my roommate, who is also staying the two extra days. Turning 50 didn’t really make that much difference …
