The most important elections of your life happen inside your head.

Every. Single. Moment.

I’m not saying that the elections for president/prime minister are not important. But the more important question, perhaps the most ...

What if there was a way for you to make it easier for your loved ones to forgive you?

After my post about forgiveness, people started asking me more and more about the relationship between apology and forgiveness. 

So - I ...

The most important day in the Jewish tradition is both beautiful and terrible.

It is also a great example of why I chose a spiritual path over a religious path -
and why I can never relate to any religious narrative (Je...

Every now and then, I feel like my heart is bleeding.

It’s usually because I get in touch with the deeper layers of my core wounds and the existential pain - the pain that comes with being alive.

Some days are like this.

560 fires. At the same time. 

California is burning.
Over 1,000,000 acres have already burned in 1 week.

How big is that?

It’s like ⅕ of the grand canyon burning on fire.
It’s like the entire island of Maui, Hawaii, burn...

Pain and suffering are a serious issue.

But sometimes the best way to learn - and to remember - how to deal with it all,
is through a joke. 😉

As the Course in Miracles says -
part of the problem is that we are rememberi...

Who got it right - the east or the west?

Yes, you can see spirituality in the west, and psychology in the east.
But by and large, the west focuses on psychology.
The east on spirituality.

But the fact is that you must de...

Life is full of challenging times.

That, in and of itself, is out of our control. 
It’s an inevitable part of living; it’s part of the deal.

What we can control is how we react, how we respond.

Oh, relationships…
(romantic and other)
They can be both the best and the hardest, can't they?

If you just said yes-
you’re not alone, as you’ll see below.

If you said no…
especially if the ‘no’ was about it being the ha...

I used to hate my birthday.

It was a combination of unpleasant experiences,
expectations that didn’t get met, and, of course,
hating myself.

And then, in 1995, the biggest tragedy of my life happened:

A Bedouin was walking with his son in the hot, unforgiving desert.
Their camel was all they had.
It was their hope for survival, too.

We all want a happier, better life.
Yet we often find that Buddha had a point (to say the least) when he said that life is full of suffering 😉.

He did, however, also say why we suffer - as do other traditions.
But not too many people seem to no...
