Here I am sitting in the library writing this blog post trying to stay centered hours after getting the news that my son has landed in Israel and I reel in his 14-day absence. Will he be safe in Israel? This long-awaited Class of 2019 8th-grade Israel trip has been 9 years in the making. [...]
Not once, but three times. All within one year. In that span of time, I've had to move on from 3 different companies. I got certified as an SEO copywriter, freelanced my way through unemployment, which denied me payout the second time around. That's when I knew I had to shift my focus. No-one would [...]
Are You Intimidated by SEO? Authorpreneurs - I know what you're probably thinking about SEO. It's the last thing you want to be bothered with when it comes to book marketing. It's way too geeky and technical not to mention time-consuming. You just want to write and publish. You feel like you [...]
It started as a simple text message on Snapchat between my son's friends. "Are you okay?" My son knows not to engage with the cell phone ever since we started observing the Shabbat, Sabbath in Pittsburgh and that means not answering phones or texting. But when the texts became incessant, that's when I knew something [...]
This past Monday I wrapped up a 30-day project implementation with Mel Robbins through the Power of You 2018 spring course. The goal was three-fold: establish a powerful morning routine that gives greater clarity, make daily progress on a project and practice small acts of everyday courage.

In my eyes, she's my version of a Wonder-Woman writer who wrote 10,000 words of a new novel in just 2 days. 2 days! How [...]
My son's Bar Mitzvah at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, January 4th 2018 Although I am back now in Pittsburgh slowly reintegrating into the greater Jewish Diaspora, spending two weeks in Jerusalem, Israel to celebrate my son's Bar Mitzvah in January 2018 at the Wailing Wall had deeply reawakened feelings of feeling an [...]
Day one of arriving in the States. I'm immensely tired. We had been walking around Jerusalem for most of Thursday. Our flight was only due to leave at 11pm. We ordered a pizza in the Old City. I thought that would put them to sleep. At least the doughy part. It would take more than [...]
I thought it would be possible to wait it out to write a blog post about the things from this past trip to Israel to celebrate our son's Bar-Mitzvah with our Israeli family, but the 10-day trip is still so fresh in my mind, it would be utterly pointless to wait. In actuality, I am [...]
I'm nervous. And to tell you the truth, I'm a bit scared. And ambivalent. Okay, all those feelings wrapped into one. On Monday, I'll be flying to Jerusalem for my son's Bar-Mitzvah. This is a city I fell in love with as a young Israel Defense Forces soldier that I write about in Accidental Soldier. [...]
Here I am. At 7 am. Today, Sunday, November 5th, 2017. At my favorite coffee shop. This morning it occured to me that it's been almost 4 months since I said "yes" to learning how to get my mind and body healthy and lose thirty pounds! As I write the next scene for my memoir Sand [...]
Writing a book is fun and wickedly creative. But once you enter the publishing door, you don't realize how book promotion will start taking your full attention, loads of creativity, tons of energy, and sometimes a little (or a lot of) money. You learn how to cultivate a following. You are not known in your [...]
