To begin, let me first admit my consistency with this blog has completely dissolved. (That is, if I ever had any to begin with.) However, there is a reasonable explanation, not merely a lack of discipline. No, it’s not Life’s circumstance distracting me; though, change is always eminent and inevitable. It’s also not a lack of desire either. What is actually a secret, such a well-kept secret I’ve been guarding it for quite some time (try almost 12 years). Only this what shall remain ...

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. Now, if you’re anything like me, the moment you hear any of the aforementioned words (leadership, training, conference), especially combined ...

It was like watching ...
Breathing Again
As the silence continues to wash over me, the rush of the High Holy Day season quieting, I find so much has happened in my life in just this first month of the new year. Usually, I'm one who doesn't just merely shy away from change. I flee. Kick. Scream. Beg. Plead. Fight. I try everything in my power to not allow change. Of course, I've already written about this. Why be so repetitive? Perhaps because I continue to amaze myself. Now, before you pass judgement on me for being ...
Preparing amidst Blessing
I have a mountain of work to do for my day job, but I find myself entirely distracted this morning. I must pen my musings for they overwhelm me. Life has been busier than normal since the final weekend in August. I've been trying to find my rhythm again (like when I should schedule time to sit and write.) My older siblings came to visit; a sweet, blessed time. I moved, FINALLY, and I’m loving my new place. I applied for a new job, which would utilize both my skills and passions. (Imagine ...
