November 19, 2017
| No Comments
| Categories: The Stories

Dearest Purity, Sometimes, I feel I can hear you, even when you are not here.  I decided, last week, to do a two part post about having the hard conversations.  I know what hard conversation you MOST want me to have.  Since I cannot just show up at the house “without being announced,” I’ve drafted…

This post is dedicated to Purity, who says it like she sees it. I wish she was here to help me this week. This has been an odd week.  We only had four days of school and then the three day weekend.  I spent Thursday night relaxing, doing laundry and watching Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman….

Hearing Voices Beyond the Grave

The other day, I was struggling with the question, “Should I keep writing on this blog?” I know a few people read it and I do like having a place to vent my frustrations and turn them into motivational moments. Then, I realized how glad I was I had this venue.  I can write whenever…

Dearest Bea, Just a heads up… I have asked CAMP teacher Gretchen Peratt if I may come on campus to observe her teaching film making and cinematography to AVHS students on December 12th 2017. I will be there from first period through sixth period.  I’m not there to disturb your learning or peace of mind…

Supping with the Family…

This post is dedicated to my most loyal follower : Mavi.  As she loves all things that are mystical and pagan, it only seems right to include such concepts on our “sketchy” website.  And since I know at least one other gypsy is also reading this too (Miss S) – it seems doubly appropriate.  🙂…

The Freedom of Self Restraint

Today, I’m going to start by quoting an article written by Rabbi Shragra Simmons entitled Discipline:The Power of Restraint… “Discipline” (Gevurah in Hebrew) is crucial because it lies at the intersection of the human dichotomy: physical body and spiritual soul. The body seeks comfort and immediate gratification: food, sleep, wealth. The spirit yearns for intangible, eternal…

I’m sorry these next two posts are so late.  I’ve been crazy busy getting ready for the Jewish High Holidays and for my trip to South Carolina to see my friend get married.  But with all my activities, I have lots to say.  Bea’s birthday falls on a Wednesday so, the next post will fall…

Find Yourself a Win-Win Situation

Finding a Win-Win Situation in life isn’t as hard as you might think.  Take for example, my desire to see the opera for my birthday.  Opera tickets are VERY expensive.  But, I found a free screening of the opera, Carmen, at the beach in Santa Monica. I took my low lawn chair and made an…

I know I said I was going to talk about Win-Win situations this week.  And I will.  But something came up that is WAY more important to address: when you just gotta say what YOU are feeling… Yesterday, I had a meeting with our temple president and our rabbi.  The president is trying to get…
