What Women Really Think While Swiping “No” On A Dating Profile: Just My POV

What Women Really Think While Swiping “No” On A Dating Profile: Just My POV

All dating apps are basically the same. Tinder, bumble, hinge, binge, bulge, whatever.. blah blah blah. Online dating sucks. Online shopping sucks. How many times do you order something online and it is nothing like its description and picture? Samesy-s but at least when I shop online, I receive the package and if I don’t like it, I send it back right away. I don’t have to waste time on pointless “getting-to-know-you-texts” (because no one ever calls anymore). I don’t have to do my hair, apply make-up, and meet at a random place for the obligatory 2 drinks when I… Continue Reading

37 Things I’m Not Obsessed With in 2022

I have always marched to the beat of my own drum and never felt the need to be like everyone else. I am an independent thinker, but lately feel like an alien while navigating the outside world and scrolling through social media. The pandemic lockdown was rough, and people had issues before, but Covid exacerbated them. I feel like I can’t relate to people on any level. When did some of this behavior become the norm?   I have so many questions and observations (and can’t wrap my head around a lot of things), so I am just going to… Continue Reading

Every Day Is National Dog Day

Every Day is National Dog Day

To My Best Friend, Thank you for standing by my side through thick and thin, good times and the bad and for showing me what unconditional love truly means. Thank you for being loyal, dependable, honest and real. You are always punctual and put up with my crazy wake up times at 4AM. You never judge me for my “off” days and always know those days when all I need is love. You are truly a gift even when you are a little too snarky, barky. I don’t know what I would have done without you especially these past few… Continue Reading

Never Forget Is More Than A Hashtag: 9/11/2021

On the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks I feel the words I have written on this page more strongly than ever before. I wrote this last year but today, we need to read this, REMEMBER and be PROUD to be AMERICANS – together again. Parents ask your children if they know what happened on September 11, 2001. Teachers ask your students if they know what #neverforget truly means and if they know it is more than a hashtag for social media. Children ask your parents if they remember what really happened that day. Do they know… Continue Reading

May 2021 Be A Better Year For Us All

May 2021 Be A Better Year For Us All

To good friends. Wherever they may be. This is the face I still make when I go to sleep at night knowing who I am, what I stand for, having pride in my name and being a kind human being. The face I make going to sleep tonight knowing that tomorrow will be a new dawn, a new day and the beginning of a new year. The face I make wishing every day that I will remain a positive, good human being continuing to break free of negative users that are endlessly attracted to me without losing my faith in… Continue Reading

Never Forget Is More Than A Hashtag: 9/11/2020

Parents ask your children if they know what happened on September 11, 2001. Teachers ask your students if they know what #neverforget truly means and if they know it is more than a hashtag for social media. Children ask your parents if they remember what really happened that day. Do they know who our true enemies were and still are? Who the heroes were that day and are today? How we came together as the greatest country in the world regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or political views to fight our true enemies. United as one. Do they know?  … Continue Reading

Thoughts From The Other Side

I don’t do splitting hairs. I do read entire posts. I don’t jump on bandwagons. I have a brain of my own. I am not a sheep. I am so, so over social media. I do not attack others if they have differing views than my own. I am proud to be American. I stand proudly for my flag. I respectfully disagree with you but we can still be friends because I am not four years old and can have a passionate conversation with others that have differing views than my own. I am an independent thinker in every single… Continue Reading

Passover Isn’t Cancelled: Why Is It Different From All Others?

Passover Isn’t Cancelled: Why Is It Different From All Others?

We ask, “Why is tonight different from all other nights?” Mah nishtanah halailah hazeh mikol haleilot?   Passover is about uniting as one and overcoming a treacherous journey through unfamiliar land, while persevering with strength and faith. It celebrates The Exodus of the Jewish people escaping freedom from slavery and the 10 plagues which struck down their oppressors. The Jews were protected from these plagues and their homes were “Passed Over” by having faith and following the commandments of Moses. This Passover is not cancelled. It is a time for us to reflect. Why is this Passover different from all… Continue Reading
