discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
I wasn't going to talk about this. I have a list of a bunch of other, happier topics I could get into it. But you know what? Fuck that. This is something I keep running into & it just pisses me off. But first... a little background. You know I'm a Jew. You also know …
Today's gifset is by Mochimochi because, holy crap, it's cute! I was thinking last night about my eclectic beliefs & how I feel all over the map.

Mazel tov! We've made it 3 years! Can you believe it? My tagline for this blog is, "Discovering who I am in the midst of a chaotic world." I feel like it's still true for me today. Every day is another step towards my own, personal truth. Throughout the past few years, we've covered a …
Well, hello there, beautiful! How are things with you? Are they as scattered as they are with me? Fantastic. We're in this together. It's been so hard for me to focus these last few weeks. I'm sure it's from all the holidays (HanukkahChristmasHanukkahNewYear's - as if it was all one thought). People are off of …
So yesterday was my 37th birthday. Woo hoo! My birthday has always been a big deal to me. For an attention-starved girl, I looked forward to the day when everyone had to be nice & pay attention to me. Oh, neuroses... so fun. I told friends & CG to not get me anything & I …
So I have a bit to tell you what happened yesterday... The Good: I've helped with Kiddush a few times at the temple. Rabbi S has tried a few times & I insist on taking over (I can just see his white tallit fall into the grape juice! Ugh!) or he just asks me directly. …
