Blog

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how important it is to surround ourselves with people who are loving, kind, and genuinely good neighbors, not just in proximity, but in heart.

For no apparent reason, this month I have been very happy. Not the loud kind of happiness, but a deep sense of peace in my heart like everything is exactly the way it’s meant to be. There’s no specific reason. Just because. Just because I’ve fought to be here.

I am always amazed by how each of us carries our own unique talents. Some people have many, some have one, but every talent is a light. Sometimes it stays quiet inside us until something or someone, brings out that spark, that ambition, that fire we didn’t even know we had.

This blog is purely simple. I’ve written twice this week, but nothing truly sat with me until today. This morning, I woke up and knew exactly what I wanted to write about just being thankful that I woke up and that I’m alive.I am simply grateful.

Life truly comes in mysterious ways. The past two weeks have been filled with so many thoughts, ideas, and plans that I could barely keep up with myself. My head has been spinning trying to organize everything, figure out the next step, and somehow make sense of it all.

Lately, I’ve been hearing people say things like, “I wish I was younger, ” “I wish I was single,” “it must be easier” and honestly, it bothers me. Not because I don’t understand where those feelings come from, but because it made me realize how much we all compare our lives to one another.

This morning, I had a plan. Drop off the kids at school, head to work, print out my lesson plans, and start preparing for the school year to begin officially. But Hashem had other plans for me.

It’s so bittersweet looking back at old memories and missing the days that once were. Today, I found myself reminiscing about my childhood with my brothers, how far we’ve all come, how much we’ve grown, and the beautiful, journeys life has given each of us.

As I’m sitting here in my front yard, the sun is shining, my kids are riding their bikes and I’m just breathing it all in. It's been a busy summer. But also a blessed one.

It’s been so hard for me to blog these last couple of weeks because, Baruch Hashem, life has been tremendous. With the last two weeks of school, kids getting ready for summer vacation and camp, it’s just been hectic.

Wow, where do I even begin? These last couple of weeks have been an absolute blessing. It has been busy, meaningful, and unforgettable. My family and I traveled to Eretz Israel to celebrate Passover, and it was such a beautiful experience.

Some days are just an adventure from start to finish. My day started off beautifully I got the kids ready, dropped them off at school, and dove into my daily routine.
