This past Sunday morning I stopped mid-sentence, telling my daughter, "We're going to..." I was multi-tasking so I paused to regroup my thoughts. (It was mother's day yesterday—after all that's what mamas do!). My 3-year-old daughter replied, "Where are we going?": And I explained the idiom to her. We weren't actually going anywhere. But then … Continue reading Mindful Nugget: Immersing in Your Present Activity

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. Like: less time in the field, farm, or coal mine and more time to thank Him for the abundance that wehave. We’re not busy washing our clothes in rivers or grinding our own wheat. I … Continue reading Bills, Bills, Bills: The Ease of Digital Bill Pay

I shouldn't be on my computer right now. I also shouldn't be using the word "should." So, where does that leave me?... It's currently 3:45 am Eastern Standard Time (Daylight?—whatever). Screen time in the middle of the night is not an ideal tool for falling back to sleep—instead of resting the mind, it actually jolts … Continue reading MeTube

It happened to be that one of my students birthdays is today, and I joked to myself, “Happy Birthday, here’s something you already own!” Obviously this wasn’t … Continue reading Your Inner Reserve
“Limited Choices is Better than Endless Choices”
To help my aforementioned anxiety, I started to break down my large goals into smaller ones. For example, instead of “reformat all 25 handouts for 5 sessions.” I wrote, “make an outline of handout titles; then reformat handouts from one session per day.” I felt much better after committing to this since it was much … Continue reading “Limited Choices is Better than Endless Choices”
