As a student (and co-author) of The Holistic You, I try to balance the various important sections of my life, my personal 5Fs: faith, family, finances, friendships and fitness. Of course, that doesn’t mean dividing my day, week, month, or year into five equal sections. It means keeping a mental diary and making sure that...
Why are we all made so uneven? Some are born into affluence and some into poverty. Some are born into health some into misery. Some are born in America, with all its advantages, some into primitive tribes. Well you get the idea. Some people believe this unevenness can be blamed on some evil thing the...
While serving the synagogue it was my privilege to establish in Southern California, my wife and I frequently sailed our forty-four foot cutter to Catalina Island. On that 26 mile jaunt, we often saw dolphins, whales, and other beguiling sea life. When fog set in, I’d think of Florence Chadwick, who in 1952 set out...

If you’ve ever unexpectedly come face-to-face with a mirror, you know how uncomfortable that can be. This is true physically. You might realize that you did need to run a brush through your hair and dab on some lipstick. But it is also true emotionally. Maybe you considered yourself witty, but when someone else’s sarcasm...
My granddaughter is going to have a Bat Mitzvah. I am a Christian. I would like to know what is an appropriate gift for her. From: Carole P. Dear Carole, The value of a gift flows from three sources and the best gifts hit all three hot spots. These sources are the person receiving the...
The other day, I overheard Susan reading a much-beloved children’s book to a young grandson.
