discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
I was thinking about my last post & how I've been trying to make my peace with the fact that it's okay to stick with what works. There might be something bigger & better out there but it's not worth the time, energy, or drama to try to figure it out. To piggyback on that …

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 …
