This morning, I woke up after a full, uninterrupted night’s rest. It felt great. I’m glad I decided to not watch extra tv last night and listened to my body’s signals of near-exhaustion. When I awoke I was greeted by the sound of birdies. I love how they chatter so in the early morning. Mimicking … Continue reading Good Morning

Another Gift Mitch Hedberg Gave Us
Earlier this week, I did a Mitch Hedberg cover stand-up comedy performance. As I said in my previous post, I watched him early on in my journey of doing stand-up comedy nine years ago.

Karaoke: On-the-Go Self-Expression
When you’re a parent, you’re often on the go with you kiddos or spending time with them. Which is great! Is just means less time for self-care. Which is not so great.

In 2014, I started watching stand-up comedy and performing at some local open mics. Stand-up comedy is a learning … Continue reading Mitch Hedberg for a Night
Sex/Life Commentary Part 2

What is Soul-Centered?
It can be a lot of things! Here is part of my take on it: Soul-centered is connecting to one’s breath. Soul-centered is prioritizing one’s morning routine before getting caught up in the whirlwind of daily tasks and to-dos. Soul-centered is having a morning practice which grounds you. What that looks like for me is … Continue reading What is Soul-Centered?
Purim: A Story of the Topsy-Turvy
Today is the holiday of Purim. The holiday celebrates how the Jewish people were on the verge of being killed and then Queen Esther saved their lives. There is a commandment to become befuddled till the point of confusing the evil Haman, who sought to destroy the Jews, with Mordechai, a Jew who counseled Esther … Continue reading Purim: A Story of the Topsy-Turvy
