When I was in my 40’s, I was repeatedly having episodes of extreme nausea and vomiting, not being able to hold any food.
The episodes lasted between one and three days.

I open the car door and sit down in the driver’s seat.I put the key in the ignition.
So far, so good….
I pull out of the driveway and halfway down the block.
I get that feeling in my chest.
I have already forgotten where I am going…. So, I am not sure whether to turn right, left or go straight when I reach the corner.

I remember when my 3 kids were teens. They would come home from school and I would ask them:
“How was your day?”
“Fine.” Would be the refrain.

I am sure there is a reason for what the Haggadah is saying that is beyond my understanding
It says to “break his teeth.”
What does that really mean? (more…)
The power of knowing what we want . . .
The power of focus on that one goal . . .
We can learn the power of focus on one idea, unfortunately, by watching the most evil man who ever lived. (more…)
Do you ever wonder what happened to the work you were supposed to have done by yesterday?
After all, you found out about it about three whole months ago.
You certainly had enough time. Why didn’t you do it?
I wondered that every time I was panicking to finish something that was late.
