I have quite a few places to draw wisdom from. And this is a good thing. Getting all your info from one place can make things seem very one sided. The older I get, the more comfortable that I am getting info from wildly different points of view. Obviously Judaism teaches me a lot. But…
Bea, You seem to have a natural ability with things that are spiritual. And I know girl drama can be an issue for you. Perhaps this will help you… Read it again – very – slow – ly. Translation: People can think whatever they want about me. I am not necessarily what they believe I…
Purity, You are SOOO lucky to get to start this early! Did you ever wish $5,000 dollars would drop out of the sky so you could go to college? It IS possible. You’ll have to pay it back. (I’m still paying my loan back). Purity – go to your guidance counselor at school and tell…

Lots of important items to decide :President of our country, marijuana legalization, death penalty overturns… Seems like a life or death situation should have gotten more attention than which “character” we are going to put into the White House. Either way, this man or woman will be making history. Adults…
I do love this song. I taught similes and metaphors today and I used this song to do it. I know I’m a bit late posting today. I really hope Bea got to see the last few posts as well as her birthday story that I posted on her actual birthday. I can see it…
There are days where I wonder if I should bother writing on the website. I have no idea if you’ll ever read all of the posts I’ve written. I know they aren’t all good. I’m bored with some of them – frankly. But I keep going. Sometimes I take it slower or take a few…
Continuing our November Countdown of Thankfulness, I’m thankful that you are both in this world. You are alive, you are in school and you are doing well (I hope). I am thankful you both came into my life and that I got to spend so much time with you both when you were young. I…
