Blog

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.

There is a quiet wave of heartbreak moving through our community—women navigating divorce, feeling sadness, vulnerability, and grief. I see it in their eyes, in their voices, in the way they speak about their past and their fears for the future.

Some days feel heavy, uncertain, and overwhelming, but being a source of light for others is one of the greatest gifts we can offer. It doesn’t take much sometimes, all it takes is a kind word, a listening ear, or a simple reminder that they are not alone.

This morning, I woke up with energy for no particular reason. You know those mornings where the simplest joy is just being? That was me. As I soaked in the moment, I realized it’s been over a month since my last blog post.

Today was my daughter’s third birthday party, and it was truly magical. The theme was all things princess, and the house was transformed into a royal kingdom filled with tiaras, glitter, and smiles. Her little friends came dressed as princesses, each one glowing with joy as they twirled and played.

December is here, and with it comes celebration, and cherished moments. This month is extra special for us because so many milestones are happening all at once.

Every morning, we’re blessed to wake up, to take a deep breath, and start a new day. Another opportunity. We get busy focusing on our goals, to-do lists, and the destinations we need to reach it’s easy to forget the One who makes it all possible.

I came across a poster at work that said, “Be kind to your mind.” At first glance, it struck me as a gentle reminder to speak more kindly to myself. But the more I stared at those words, the deeper their meaning became. It wasn’t just about positive self-talk, it was about truly recognizing my own strength, wisdom, and resilience, things I rarely give myself credit for.

As I sit on the plane heading back home, I find myself filled with gratitude. I thank Hashem for the miracles He has given me and for the emunah He has given me throughout this crazy journey.

As I sat down yesterday, a realization hit me. I was reminded of how far I have come, where I am now, and the journey I've explored. This summer has been incredible, filled with moments that seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye.
