I am committed to getting a new notebook tomorrow. I know, saying big statements like this can be daunting, LOL. Behavior change is hard. But seriously, I’m getting a new notebook. I’ve used up all the spare pages of the three I’ve been frequenting (they started out as different topics but then I just starting … Continue reading Marginalized Musings

Your Window of Opportunity Awaits
This morning, I was opening a window to hear the birds chirp. I thought I had unlocked it. I'm like pulling and pulling. I'm thinking, “Did the humidity cause it to get stuck?” I'm wondering if these windows decided to copy my previous's home’s and be really hard to open. After a moment or so … Continue reading Your Window of Opportunity Awaits
New Year’s Resolution of Self-Compassion
How is everyone’s new year going? In the Jewish calendar, the Jewish New Year is followed by a few more holidays and the festivities culminate after about a month. And it’s a letdown to get back to “regular” life. Christmas begins this festive time of year for many, continued for some through the 12 days … Continue reading New Year’s Resolution of Self-Compassion
2023!
Wow! I just counted down to the New Year! 2023 is here! 2022 is in the past. It’s as if a line has been drawn in the sand and I stepped over it. There is a lot I want to leave in 2022 and not bring with me into this fresh, new year. But I … Continue reading 2023!
25th Anniversary of…
My bat mitzvah! My entrance into womanhood. I was searching for the words to capture how I so deeply connect with my inner 12-year-old self—that pure, innocent girl who had not yet explored the sexual sphere, which would end up wreaking havoc on her emotional life. How to say that? How to capture it? Am … Continue reading 25th Anniversary of…

Happy 11-11-22
Not only is it 11-11. But 11+11= 22. The fact that this week is culminating on 11/11 is meaningful to me cuz this has been a week of self-discovery. Ironically it was through declining opportunities (both personal and professional) that I felt validated in who I am. Opportunities that a greener, less experienced version of … Continue reading Happy 11-11-22
The Life of a Psalms Author
Psalms are emotionally validating as well as beautiful poetry. I know that King David went through a lot, which inspired what he wrote. I went back to read about his life in the Book of Samuel. And I realized, I rather read his universally relatable poetry than know the nitty gritty of his messy life. … Continue reading The Life of a Psalms Author
Rebirthday Invitation
Mindfulness is an invitation to be grateful for one’s life, for the blessings which one has, and for the natural surroundings that surround us always. It is an antidote to jadedness. It is a vessel in which to hold one’s pain; a container for one’s joys. It is accessible always. Upcoming Renewal: My Bday, Jewish … Continue reading Rebirthday Invitation
Day Off
What does it mean to have a day off? Do you use it to get extra errands done and help clear out the rest of the week’s hecticness? But then you are not really off? That sounds on to me! Trying to find the balance between planning ahead and living in the present moment.
