Why not?

Today on my way home I was listening to a podcast that was recorded by #BedrosKulian, the founder of #fitbodybootcamp. His topic was the winning mindset. The difference between people who seem to win at life, sport or battle and people who are average in life. He did not say anything that I did not…

Making Decisions

Tonight, I am grateful that I am free… Free to make my own decisions. And may I be brave and wise enough to live by the consequences of those decisions I make. ‘Cause I am bound to make mistakes.

Love and Death

Yesterday and today I had conversations with my younger sister and my older brother; we were talking about what is going on in Israel, right now. Our father grew up in an Orthodox Jewish household. He wanted to move to Israel where he hoped to convince both the Israeli government and the governing parties of…

simple are the ways

I am grateful for the warm autumn night tonight that I walked in with Marlin, I am grateful for the work out I had after two weeks not working out, I’m grateful for the work I got in for my directing class… grateful for doing this post on an iPad instead of sitting at the…

Partnerships

Just enough

I am grateful that I have just enough now, to keep me from drowning in my own shit.

Pick me up

The Power Ball Lottery has once again grown to over 1 billion dollars.  Think of all of the good a person can do with that type of money.  I don’t believe in just giving a lot of money away, people should have to work for it to appreciate it; I do believe in helping all…

Two steps nearer to my grave
