There’s something about me none of you know, a problem I can’t seem to overcome. I’m late. To everything. Okay, well maybe not everything all the time, but it happens 90% of the time. I even bought a Cinderella t-shirt of her running away from the ball which reads, “Don’t be late” for a caption as an inside joke with myself because I usually am anyway. I know, I know. It’s nothing drastic, but as I was driving to work this morning – late, again – I found myself asking myself why this ...
Musings
Announcement: March 18
To begin, let me first admit my consistency with this blog has completely dissolved. (That is, if I ever had any to begin with.)

And I'm homesick. It ebbs and flows, this longing of my soul, to return to the one place in this entire world I truly, deeply know I belong. Sometimes the longing is overwhelming, pouring from my aching soul through my tears. Other times, it is merely a sense of consciousness that ...
Liberation
Sorry I’ve been out of touch recently. The past few weeks have been rather stressful, and I’ve been focusing all my energy into fighting those proverbial battles. All this stress was actually leading up to a moment for when I was out of town. I returned “home” to Texas for a few days, attending a leadership training conference for my synagogue.
