Are You In His Hands

When we have faith in God that things will work out for the best, we find unparalleled peace of mind. And peace of mind is what all of us need during these chaotic times. Take shelter under His wings…His ‘talith’ … and let Him be your refuge! …Shabbat Shalom…

Curtain Call

Another song came on right after the last one…..and it was perfect. My parents were the ultimate in everything they did … really! From raising 6 rambunctious kids, to Girl Scouts and Basketball. From unconditional support when toddlers became teenagers and then young adults to always being there in troubles and needs. They jitter-bugged their way through life – always…

Going thru hell?

Sometimes….you feel like you’re going thru the proverbial hell.  I would venture to say that most of us who have walked this earth have felt that way at one time or another. All of us have an escapism that we reach out to in order to survive. Mine is putting pen to paper….and listening to music. There is something about…

Continue the Journey

This meme says a lot in a few words. Going through the journey of retrospection during this month causes us to take a look in the rear-view mirror and wonder…..what if. What if I had done this…or that…or said this…or that? Questions that have no answers. But in looking back, we can also see clearly how each and every decision…

Reflections during Introspection

This is the month of reflection….introspection….decisions. However, this year..this year… it’s a real strange one for me, even though I’ve been going through this journey for almost forty years. After beginning my ‘search for truth’ way back in my days of Catholicism, and then landing in the middle of a ‘back to the beginning’ spiritual movie. But…this year. This year….

During the Month of Teshuvah

During this ‘custom‘ created centuries ago as a way to be ready to approach the fall feast days, given to us by the Creator Himself, every one of us need to bow our knee and search our hearts. Summer is coming to a close and Fall is fast approaching. The last several Feast Days of the Lord – Rosh HaShannah,…

Are you ready?

Is it an End or a Beginning? Elul is, well, BOTH! It is the ending of a year gone by and opens the heavenly portal of the year which will soon begin. According to tradition the focus of the month of Elul is to begin taking an account of our past deeds and to prepare ourselves emotionally, physically and spiritually…

Inspection Time?

Have you been taking this season – the season of Elul – to inspect yourself? Yes, that’s what I said, INSPECT YOURSELF! If you are not aware of it, or if you are new to walking in the journey of the fullness of the word, then this is the month that we take time to ready ourselves before the fall…

Do You Just Fit IN? Or Do You Belong?

So what does that actually mean? If you ‘fit in’ doesn’t that mean you belong?! Well, not really … let’s explore that a little bit. FITTING IN …. well, if you take a group of people and you want to ‘fit in’ than you have to evaluate the people you want to fit in with – right? You glance at…

A Little Bit of Oil

On my journey to regain my health, let it be known that I have tried just about everything. And that ‘everything‘ is quite a long list – from herbs to weeds, from a myriad of supplements to bleach…(yeah I know). I have tried them all – or at least all up till today 🙂 Tomorrow I may find something new….
