I'm at a great place career-wise now. I am working full time in a nutrition job that I LOVE while having a couple extra hours a month to devote to my private practice. And I appreciate how I can charge affordable rates at my private practice since it's not the main way I am earning … Continue reading Be Busy DOING YOU

Twists and Turns and Staying with Truth
Last night I went to a stand up open-mic to do stand up comedy for the first time since 2014 (which was the year I did stand up ;)). I had all my notes prepped. My hubby and I ended up getting there an hour earlier than when one signs up for the stand up … Continue reading Twists and Turns and Staying with Truth
Black is Beautiful
In the past I felt self-conscious when meeting with a black health clinician, cuz I grew up steeped in white culture.But in recent days I feel I have more in common with blacks: Coming out of trauma and hardship with inspiration, with color, no pun intended. My skin isn’t black, but I’m beginning to think … Continue reading Black is Beautiful
Stand Up Comedy Tonight
I’m returning to Stand Up Comedy open mic tonight after a 7-year hiatus. Even if I do end up sucking (as basically all beginners do in the beginning!)... Prepping for it And challenging myself And growing And telling my friends about it And building my brand And blogging about it— Cuz it’s a topic and … Continue reading Stand Up Comedy Tonight
Maybe Marketing Doesn’t Suck
In a previous post (weeks ago) I wrote about how I love creating but I hate marketing my creations. The former is genuine, from the soul. The latter, is artificial, trying to take advantage of others' souls. Uch. Repulsive. And so, for years whenever I would market a book I wrote or an event I … Continue reading Maybe Marketing Doesn’t Suck

You Got This!
“Ok, let’s go somewhere else.” Did that group of four women just leave the area at the very moment I arrived? Holy, shit! My worst fear has finally manifested! And it only took 35 damn years. Of course, my first reaction was to second guess my recent actions...Was it the F bomb I dropped a … Continue reading You Got This!
Sculpture
Recently I began feeling like a sculptor. I suck at ceramics, but hear me out. Sometimes when I write I feel like I am not creating an idea, rather giving an already-created idea a space for expression. Molding an idea that already exists out of its amorphous surroundings.

Self-forgiveness Self-compassion Acceptance of what is Instead of pushing it down And/or running away from it Carrying oneself with dignity and self-love Even when times are hard On Shabbat, G-d invites us to step away from all the distractions. I used … Continue reading Part 2 – The Antidote
Humans Are Complex
Recently I’ve been mulling over my decade of decadence. Was it all that decadent? No! But how could I resist the wordplay?! This evening I helped a friend by sending her all the information I had received about an upcoming camp program. She was very grateful. As in my nutrition career, it gives me great … Continue reading Humans Are Complex
