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 …
Going kosher…ish
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 …
It’s time to go
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 …
Thank you
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 …
400!
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 …
An open letter to an old friend…
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 …
Diet Coke & molasses cookies
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 …
Limiting screens
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 …
Drying out
Well hello there! Has your life been as insane as mine? Work has been absolutely nutso & I honestly haven't had the time or mental energy to do much else. You know it's been bad when you can't remember much because your mind is protecting you. Survivor mode is engaged. I feel like I'm getting …
“It takes a village”
I was thinking about this phrase & how I've had to use it in my life. Emphasis on "had to." Let me explain.I like to do everything myself. It's hard for me to ask for help. Part of me feels like it's weakness (even though I know it's not) & another part of me feels …
