So excited about Passover this year. I’m having the conversion class at the temple to my new home for a very easy going, but traditional Seder. last night, I put all bread products in my house into a bag. I “sold” them to a friend of mine today. I’m not supposed to have any bread…
Learning to love yourself can take a lifetime. It starts when you begin to see there are so many ways that others are getting through this world. Some people seem so lucky (trust me, it just looks that way). Some people seem to have it all. But anyone can love themselves. How do you do…
I hope you had a good day today. I sure had a nice day. Nothing real exciting going on today. Worked, came home, watched Dr. Phil…the usual. One of his topics made me realize that I’ve never talked with you about a very important subject: drugs. I’ve never had any in my life: not one…
Grandma and her friends came over for tea this afternoon. They just love the new house. We had tea, scones with Devonshire cream, cookies, tea sandwiches, and chocolate cheesecake. Yum! Cathy from next door just loves how I’ve decorated the guest rooms. They brought over some housewarming gifts: a candle and holder. Grandma brought me…

What a wonderful world I woke up to this morning…I dreamt of both of you. I came to your house last night and spent the evening with you. You were both young (Purity was about 7 and Bea was about 5) and you had a babysitter who let me visit you. Strangely, it was a…
When I was a little girl, I wanted to be able to do magic. Not like a magician, magic. I wanted to be an enchantress of some kind. Its funny, it took me a very long time to get into the Harry Potter stories. You’d think I’d just jump in there, right? No, I was…
Just finished working. I had been waiting for a parent to show up for a meeting. No show, no call – typical. But I still get to post stories, sketches and songs to my two favorite girlies. I hope life is treating you well. I’m doing splendidly. I had to get a proposal into my…
Next month, a couple of very special holidays come on the same day…Mother’s Day and Rosh Chodesh. You know what Mother’s Day is, of course. I know it isn’t the easiest day for you. I thought it would be nice to write you a story to help you through it. Rosh Chodesh is Hebrew for…
