WORDS MATTER
I was in the Bank before, waiting to speak with the Manager, I was turned the other way when I heard her say something that I couldn’t make out.
TRAVELING LIGHT
Although I’ve never really been very attached to material things, I started actively purging “stuff” from my life several years ago upon leaving my marriage.
THE POWER OF AND
It hit me many years ago that one of the most negative and limiting words in the English language is “but.”
THE UNYEARS
I wrote the piece below for my old Blog 6-1/2 years ago (interesting that I now notice it was written on X’s Bday), and I recently shared it with a beloved soul in my life, who wanted to have more context for me and my journey.
BEING ONESELF
March 18, 2024 Edition Editor: Salma Neghive Published by JPlease Press San Miguel De Allende, Mexico YIDDISH WORD OF THE DAY ZETZ – Noun. Some see it as a punch, or a blow. I learned it as a nudge, a gentle push. "I'm gonna give you a zetz to to ask him out." BEING ONESELF…
ANGER + LOVE
I am over the moon to be at this place where I am, truly, IN LOVE. What makes it even more thrilling, and humbling, is that it’s for the very first time. Yes, I mean it. People have always been shocked when I have shared that I have never been in love.

ENDINGS AND BEGINNINGS AND BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS…
There are a few subjects that I ponder often, (the moment of) “New Year’s Eve” always connects at least two of them.
IT’S AN INSIDE JOB
I often feel that the older I get, the less I “know.” Sometimes life presents mysteries, and challenges that have me wondering if I know bupkis. When I was younger, I felt that I needed to know everything (even when I didn’t), or at least show others that I did.
AN ASSAULT ON JUDGMENT
For the last few years, I’ve been speaking with people about societal labels, and their impact in all aspects of society. How they breed assumptions, which lead to judgments, separation and polarization.
THE INVITATION
At this special time when the confluence of so many holidays can fill us with so many feelings and emotions, when transitions abound, I see this period, these segues, as one of “Invitations.”
WITNESSES + PERSPECTIVIZERS
Whenever I wonder why I’m so deeply called to be the kind of “Storyteller” I somehow have evolved, unfolded, to become, I only have to think of one word. Perspective.
