So this blog has been sleeping for a while …
Thanks to my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, my Life Coach practicum, and assorted kinds of craziness, I've not posted here since mid-November. Oy vey. But now I'm back! Things have been ... interesting. The Bat Mitzvah was wonderful - there will be pictures. Having family and friends surround us with love was amazing, too. Then Shira … Continue reading So this blog has been sleeping for a while …
I am Heartbroken over Jian
So the last few days have been a whirlwind of nasty revelations concerning one of my favourite CBC radio hosts. This morning I received a Facebook message from a friend, urging all of us to "unlike" his fan page to show support to the victims in this sorry tale. That's when I decided I needed … Continue reading I am Heartbroken over Jian
Daleks in the Torah
I am so incredibly lucky to have been given the opportunity to develop an intimate knowledge of the Torah. Who but the Torah reader gets to read every single word of the Book? Because we are using the triennial system (for which I am currently extremely grateful, although I was not a fan when it … Continue reading Daleks in the Torah
#BlogElul 29: Return
Wow, I did such a good job last year I'm not sure I can add anything to it. It's the last #BlogElul of the season. This year I didn't do as well in terms of consistent blogging as last year, there was a lot more going on and I did miss a couple of times. … Continue reading #BlogElul 29: Return
#BlogElul 28: Give
On this penultimate day of Elul, the word that Rabbi Sommer gave us is Give. How appropriate. Last year I wrote about scarcity and abundance. This year I am thinking about helping people. In the abundance model, you give away lots and lots of content, and charge for maybe the last 10%, the premium model, … Continue reading #BlogElul 28: Give
#BlogElul 27: Intend
Intend. What an interesting word. The immediate association, at least for me, is something about the road to hell and the paving stones thereof ... I'm sure I'm not the only one. Here's what I wrote about it last year. Here we are almost at the end of Elul. This morning I ran the service … Continue reading #BlogElul 27: Intend
#BlogElul 26: Hope
Hope is the thing with feathers, apparently. I've got a few of those outside my window as I write, but I don't know that they are necessarily what I am looking for right now. It is definitely true, however, that hope is a major component of the human psyche. When we lose it altogether, we … Continue reading #BlogElul 26: Hope
#BlogElul 25: End and Begin
The end of the week was just too crazy, Friday was one of those days where I had to run around the city and do 12 million things, as well as my usual cooking and preparation for Shabbat. So my blog post for End didn't get written. Now the last Shabbat before Rosh HaShanah is … Continue reading #BlogElul 25: End and Begin
#BlogElul 23: Love
Love, love, love. All you need is love, dum da da da da dum ... such an interesting phenomenon, love. Looking for a definition, I found: an intense feeling of deep affection. There was a lot more to it than that, but I think this is the main one. There is intensity, there is depth, … Continue reading #BlogElul 23: Love
