As many of you know, I've been living with a chronic disease since 1987. It has waxed and waned over the years, but it is not likely ever to be "cured". The best I can aim for is extended periods of remission, punctuated by uncomfortable flareups. The reason I am telling you this is not … Continue reading #BlogElul 5 – Accept

#BlogElul 4 – Understand
We think we understand things, but very often we are wrong. Reality is like the skins of an onion, there are always more layers underneath. Physical scientists understand this, they make models and theories but never (if they are wise) expect them to be perfect descriptions and explanations of what is really going on. The … Continue reading #BlogElul 4 – Understand

Searching is something I've been doing my whole life. What do I want to be when I grow up? Where do I want to live? What kind of meaning do I want to give my life? Lots of searching. Some of these questions have been answered in ways that surprised me. I've been living in … Continue reading #BlogElul 3 – Search

I've been procrastinating on writing this blog post, but now it is getting late, and if I'm not going to kill my series when it has barely started, it's time to act.

The Manual
One of the main sources of pain in relationships is something called The Manual. We have these elaborate, usually unspoken rules about what we want other people to do so that we can feel happy. If these other people fulfill our expectations for them (which they may or may not know about), then we are … Continue reading The Manual
Surviving the Bread of Affliction
Passover has been and gone. It's always been one of my favourite holidays, largely because of the amount of baking I do with my kids. But this year it's taken a twist that made it considerably harder than usual, and I'm still recovering. I've had at least one person say to me in the past, … Continue reading Surviving the Bread of Affliction
Why I Don’t Sell Nail Wraps or Scented Candles or …
I have lots of friends who sell things like nail wraps or scented candles or jewelry or skin care products that claim to make you look younger.
