Riding out the storm and chugging along

So, we are going to get some of that hurricane here in the NE, a rarity in Philadelphia, so firstly, I want to ask that everyone in the hurricane’s path, be safe. Me, I’ll be fine, studying and testing for certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through it. Working on laying the foundation for our…

Waiting and art

I have been waiting for packages as of late, one via USPS that they lost and some art books from Amazon because I’ve been in a very artistic mood as of late. I’ve even broken out my painting supplies again and might be painting a bit shortly. I’ve been an artist my whole life, but…

Big news!

So, after a full 30 hours of intensive training and practice, I am now officially an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) practitioner. I am Frederick W. Cook .miGNLP officially and have added yet another tool to my therapy practice, and a powerful one at that. This was a huge course and one I am infinitely proud of…

More blogging, more fun

I have decided to blog more often on here, and much like the section here with articles, it will be partly based on my life and partly on my journey into Judaism. I have a lot to say and not all of it needs to be written out into an article here. So expect a…

Home alone

So I’ve been alone for ten days now, and it has been a whirlwind of doing whatever I want, deep cleaning, missing my wife and kids, and studying. I’ve watched so many things streaming, I’ve gamed, I only eat when I’m hungry enough to feel it, it’s actually been nice in that respect. The one…

So…sore…so busy!

Since the wife and kids left for a month in NC while I watch our cats, I’ve been taking things apart and deep cleaning every nook and cranny. This has not been an easy venture with 2 adults and our four kids, things get messy in the oddest places. Needless to say in 5 days…

Working hard or hardly working?

So, with my wife and kids now in NC (as of today) I am taking it upon myself to get our house in order back here in Philadelphia. I am in the process of cleaning the house from ceiling to floor and stepping up my workout game in our workout room. None of this is…

My birthday

Tomorrow, July 30th is my birthday and although I’ll be 43 years old, it’s my first birthday as a convert. Today I had a great lunch, we’re going to my mother’s house tonight to celebrate with a birthday cheesecake and pizza (4 kids and 3 adults… we’re outnumbered!) and then tomorrow I’m having Halal Guys…

Preparing for a month alone

The kids nor my wife have seen her parents in almost 2 years now, so we all planned that they would go from Philly to North Carolina for a month in August. I’ll be staying home with the cats and keeping an eye on the house, so we will be a part for 30 whole…

Look at all the newness!

I have added so many articles, a new interview I did with journalist Tom Ravlic, a new op-ed written by me and published by Fromthegman.net, and so so so much more. I am working a lot on making this site as content-rich as possible, in hope that it helps other people. There’s new content all…
