 Dealing with Challenge
Losing to Win — Learning to Let Go

I know it’s a childish and irrational projection, but that’s how I sum up my heavenly Father – the One up there who has no malice towards me, but is certainly not dependable, who will lure me into a false sense of security, if I let Him, but then will pull the rug out and disappear in the middle of the night...

He knows we are not angels, because He didn't create us to be perfect. But He did create us with the ability to connect with others and become better people...
New Year's Resolutions

The second week into my New Year's resolutions' promises is not so successful...
Sound Bites of the Soul — The Journey from Selves to Self

Bands sing of freedom from Apartheid from South Africa's darkened face. The music lifts me off the grass and bounces me like musical notes down the hill. I dance and dance. But my heart slides with the knowledge that this is not my music...

 The Jewish Calendar
A Rondeau for Rosh Hashanah

"Break, shatter, blast." Too many days
This year have known the sullen blaze
And blast disfigure our design.
Our hard hearts, G-d? They're shivered fine --
What's left, then, for these sounds to craze?

Dear Rachel
Our 10-year-old son is a very sensitive boy. My husband is not an overly sensitive person. He has very little patience for our son’s gentle nature; in fact, he calls him a wimp...
