discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
I try really hard to not compare myself to others. I know I should only be in competition with myself. But I'm human. And more than that, I'm an American woman. As much as it pains me to say this, society has ingrained in me to compare myself to other women. Coupled with my own …
My apologies for the radio silence. I've been chewing on this post for a few weeks. I didn't realize it was so difficult for me to get out. Thank you for your patience & understanding.I had a scary thought. I realized in about a month, I will have been graduated from high school for 20 …
Oh my. Where to start? I'm just gonna dive right in. I'm sure I'll piss some people off but IDGAF. I've been silence & complacent for too long. Now they get to know exactly how I feel & how shitty they've been treating me. And if they're surprised, they haven't been paying attention. I'm fucking …
I had a check-in meeting with Rabbi B yesterday. She's the one that's overseeing my conversion process so I meet with her every few months or so to see how things are going. She thinks I'm on track to convert by the end of the year but I think it'll be sooner than that (I …
Hey 🙂 I decided to take January off. Partly because I was swamped with work. Partly because I wasn't feeling up to snuff. Grief, stress, & horrible people who claim to love you. But let me get you caught up on what's going on. So remember the Grandma I wanted to see for Passover? She …
So this isn't on my list of items to tell you but it's really important to me so it jumps to the top of the list. I spent some time yesterday going through my old posts. And in true fashion, I cringed. A lot. 😉 I guess that means I've grown, right? But more than …
YOU GUYS! FOUR HUNDRED?! Wow. Who knew I had so much to say? 😜 Thank you so much for joining me on this incredible journey. Here are the top 3 posts since we hit 300. As always, the links open up in a new window because that's a personal pet peeve of mine when they …
Hey - I know we haven't really talked in a few years but I need to get a few things off my chest. I figured this would be the best way to do it for a few reasons. One, I'm giving you your space but not sending this to you directly. Two, you can have …
I've been waiting a long time to tell you this story. Partly because I didn't feel ready. Partly because it still stung. But as time goes on, I find myself happy to have moved on with my life. Happy, but in a bittersweet way. I think I was 13 or 14 when I first met …
I've mentioned before how I don't understand how people can just sit & stare at a screen all day long. God, I feel like your brain cells are just slowly dying. And don't you have anything else you could be doing? Or should be doing right now? It's hard for me to sit & watch …
