It’s not everyday that the pieces on a board game so effectively illustrate a metaphor for life. And while it may not be as notable as Halley’s comet, I’m noting it nonetheless.

Bills, Bills, Bills: The Ease of Digital Bill Pay
I think G-d thought that if he made things easier for us, it would make cultivating a spiritual connection more accessible.

Exercising Another Part of My Brain: Arts and Crafts
I always found doing health fairs challenging as a nutritionist. I loved educating people—but putting together an oak tag presentation, not as much.

Paying bills was always a tedious time of the weekend in my home growing up. So I feel guilty when I go online and it is so much more effortless a task (other than the working to pay said bills part).
