discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
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. …
Ugh. I feel like I have so much to tell you, so much to get out of me, & no time to do it. I need to prioritize better. I'm sure my next few posts will seem scattered but at least you'll know why. 😉 So in no particular order, here's the first of many: Shana …
Such a cute movie! Hey stranger - So Job #1 has been crazy busy (seasonal work & all) so I haven't had time to actually talk to you & get you caught up on what's going on with me. I still have my list of several topics to cover with you. It's funny because I'll …
Ugh. Where to start? I had a fight with someone last night. Same issue we've fought about before. I'm tired of it. There's only so many times I can voice my needs before I give up. I'm not even mad anymore. I'm worn out. There's nothing left for me to say or do. So, obviously, …
I've been thinking lately about people from my past. Old friends who've moved away or we've naturally drifted apart after graduation or when jobs end. Toxic "friends" I had to keep away for my own health (& my therapist agrees). Everything from big blow-outs over a significant other to walking away with no response. What …
This past Shabbat was Parashat Emor, which is a section of Leviticus about different laws for Shabbat, holidays, & so forth. Rabbi S focused on the section of harvesting & it's still with me several days later. Leviticus states when you harvest your grains, leave the outside edges alone for the poor to have. Also, whatever …
I'm sitting here thinking about what to talk about when I realized, "Wow. I had a really good day today." I started my day by going to Temple. Today kicks off Pesach/Passover. Service was lovely, as usual, but it was really cool to be there for a holiday & see how they celebrate it. We …
Aww! Bunny! The 58 inches (seriously) of snow is finally gone & green grass is starting to grow! Yay! Spring! This past winter was a bitch & a half. I'm glad it's done. Today is a typical April day here in the Midwest - a little cooler, rainy, & I'm just blissed out. I love …
