Reporter Matt Lebovic did a beautiful job of bringing together all of the components of my story, and of the larger story of my generation and three generations in the aftermath of the Holocaust. <– P.S.

Your miracle. It’s coming. Even when you don’t see it or a hint of its light. It’s on its way. And there isn’t much you have to do to make sure it finds its way to you. That’s part of the miracle, like it knows. It’s hard to remember, when things seem shitty or off-course [...]

I am totally free. Utterly and completely. And you know what? You are, too. Make money however you choose. Complain about the current way you make money, knowing full well you can change that way. You can complain. Period. You can decide to stop listening to others complain. Name your kids whatever you choose. You [...]

This piece originally appeared on The Life Change Network Balance: We want it. We strive for it. We read articles on how to get it. We follow people who seem to know more about it than we do. And yet….it isn’t a realistic goal. Even the happiest among us wouldn’t use the word ‘balance” [...]
