Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 4
Many would interpret that God acts as if His hands were tied. In reality, after the 6 days of the creation process, He put the seal on the 7th day. Nothing and no one can undo what the Lord has done! Every action from the moment we are born is linked to the next, and so on. Each of us has an impact through what we do on both a micro and macro scale. God will not come and apply His mercy over what we have chosen already.

Shabbat is the seal of the Creation! Six steps of becoming, one step of being! Part 3
About the guilt you feel. Guilt often appears when someone is tired, overwhelmed, or afraid they are “slipping.” But guilt is not always a sign of wrongdoing. Sometimes it’s simply a sign that a person is sensitive, conscientious, and trying to live well. You’re not failing because you feel low. You’re not failing because you’re tired. You’re not failing because you can’t pray the way you think you “should.” Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you are guilty. It means you care. And caring is not a sin.

The People We Become After Goodbye
Goodbyes are among the most powerful moments in a human life. They rarely feel grand or dramatic when they happen.

Yet, long after the moment passes, we begin to realize that a goodbye does more than end a chapter—it reshapes who we are.

What's My Name?
Alan Gold asked me about why I had a double name on Facebook and Vocal. I thought I had written about this on Seven Days In but I couldn’t find any trace of it to fill out this piece. I mean this is just about how I got a nickname and appropriated it for myself.

The Weight of Almost
There is a particular kind of ache that does not scream. It does not demand attention the way heartbreak does. It does not bruise the way failure does. It lingers quietly, settling somewhere between memory and imagination. It is the ache of almost.

Women History Month Celebrates: Ashley Bookashy
Nearly five years ago I started working at my current job and in the mornings when I first got there a girl in a red Kia parked next to me every morning. As this went on the first few months on the job we started interacting and joking about how we kept parking next to each other, but in time this great woman would end up being my best friend.
