When the President of a democracy says, "I don't need a ride, I need ammo.", it speaks to his character. Essentially, he doesn't have to stay behind, but he has. The bravery and commitment is admirable. Historically, Kings would go into battle. Sometimes they'd die in battle, but they still fought for their beliefs and … Continue reading Fight Like Zel
Pieces Of Me
Emotions On High
This whole situation is disturbing and upsetting. It's incredibly depressing, especially as I think about those who've already lost their lives for no reason. Let's be clear; Ukrainian citizens are innocent in this. They did not cross over into another country with ill intent. I am especially proud of President Zelenskyy, who is on the … Continue reading Emotions On High
Grieving… It’s A Process
“Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow.I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain.I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rushOf beautiful birds … Continue reading Grieving… It’s A Process
Mood For 2022
This is me every year, for the most part. I'd say less than five percent of my personal life is shared here, but it may seem like more to some people.
Cleansing The Silent Anger
Over the past year, a lot has changed for me. Wonderful things, many wonderful opportunities. Amazing things which I've kept quiet about because I firmly believe in not feeding my own ego. I take a victorious moment and then I might share it with my nearest and dearest (Not always.), but I don't make a … Continue reading Cleansing The Silent Anger

As I honor all of the lives lost, I am choosing to do so without being politically correct or sitting in silence. I was given a voice … Continue reading International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Migraine Destruction and Searching For Calm
A brutal migraine began last night, ripping through my skull like a freight train, as I frantically searched for an envelope of documents I have to fill out, not knowing when they are due back. I tore apart all the normal places I keep my documents which require immediate or semi-immediate attention, versus the one's … Continue reading Migraine Destruction and Searching For Calm
Wordless
Of late, the few pieces I began working on for all of you have seemingly gone off the rails. I find myself triggered, upset, angry, introspective, and a myriad of other emotions. These are not emotions conducive to writing the truth. It requires me to take a step back, work on healing, and then move … Continue reading Wordless
I Stand Against Antisemitism
I challenge you to stand by me while I Stand Against Antisemitism. I firmly suspect you will not support me at all, and I am good with that. I've seen everyone's truth. Don't like my stance? That's fine. I don't like Anti-Semitic hate. Am Yisrael Chai. Images credited to marked organizations/individuals
Another Day, Another Synagogue
I write this as the hostage situation in Colleyville, Texas, which I have been following since this morning, when the BBC sent a notification to my phone, has come to an end. Thank G-d every hostage, including the Rabbi of Congregation Beth Israel, are alive and safe. Let me be clear when I say that … Continue reading Another Day, Another Synagogue
