discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
I'm not sure if it's because I'm American or how I was raised or how my mind works or whatever, but there is this "what if" inside of me when it comes to products. Let me explain.What if this shampoo is alright but there's a better one out there for my hair? What if this …
CW: eating disorders, rude-ass people I feel like it's been a blur of holidays. First Rosh Hashanah, then Yom Kippur, & now Sukkot - all within a blink. I get the whole "tis the season" part of it but I'm still chewing on my New Year's resolutions. And still trying to make amends with myself …
Hey... I had some pretty serious shit happen. In the course of a week, I lost two family members (one in my family & one in my SO's family). Remember that awesome aunt I was telling you about? Yeah, she died shortly afterwards. From the time I heard about her being in the hospital to …
This morning, I quasi-rejoined my temple's minyan morning service. I say "quasi" since my rabbi had recorded & uploaded a service for those who wouldn't be able to attend in the mornings.

There's just …

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 …
