A Beautiful Mother’s Day Quote

When you are a mother, you are never really


 alone in your thoughts. 

A mother always has to think twice, 

once for herself and once for her child.

Wedding Time: Mazel Tov!

I‘ve been thinking a lot about my Mom lately and all the wonderful, sage words she had for me.  She was so wise.  One of my favourites was about celebrations.

Always celebrate.  Look for reasons to celebrate.  If you are invited to a party, a wedding, a bar mitzvah; GO!

If it is a special occasion and it’s 200 miles away; GO!

Life is short. People tend to get together more for funerals than celebrations.  

So Celebrate!
