Nina Amir's Thoughts on Spirituality, Judaism, Human Potential, Personal Growth, and Living Fully
I didn’t mind when my children went off to school. I was happy for the free time, time for myself to do the things I wanted to do.
I missed my children when they went off to camp, even shed a brief tear, but always felt happy for them and for myself. They would have a [...]
As my daughter prepares to leave for college, she wavers between excitement about the new life she is starting and the old one she is ending—in particular the romantic relationship coming to a close. Smart enough to know better than to pursue a four month-old relationship bi-coastally as they both enter their freshman years in [...]
I’ve spoken with several people recently—friends in their 50s—who have been married for 18-20 years. They all have had issues in their marriage in the last few years.
It seems to me a normal process for people to change over that amount of time and for that fact to make it difficult for marriages to survive. [...]
Like the founders of our nation promised, we all have the right to pursue happiness and we do this via the choices we make. Today, Independence Day, I’d like to remind you that you are, indeed independent. You are free. We have the freedom to pursue the things that make you happy and bring you [...]
When we can’t seem to solve a problem, we turns to a supernal power that might provide a solution…or a miracle. Thus, more than two months into the Gulf oil spill crisis, four affected State Governors proclaimed this past Sunday, June 27th, A Day of Prayer. In other words, we turn to [...]
Is there something about yourself that you consider a “negative,” something you think of as a detriment to your career or resume? Maybe you didn’t graduate from college or you’ve changed jobs often or English isn’t your first language.
Today, figure out how to turn that so-called negative into a positive. Make it an attribute. That’s [...]
Do you know a few people who really irritate you? Are there people you find it difficult to be around because you get annoyed and angry just by being near them for any length of time? Guess what. You can learn the most about your self from these people.
I mentioned in my last post that [...]
Long ago someone told me our cars symbolize our selves. So, when something goes wrong with our cars, we have to look at our selves and our bodies to see if we can discern the messages sent to us.
Interestingly enough, yesterday I found in my email inbox an email from an automobile service station I [...]
The other day a friend of mine told me I’d missed an opportunity. I told him he was wrong. Well, maybe it did represent an opportunity–an opportunity for me to lose focus.
Right now my life seems filled with distractions from my true goals. It’s difficult for me to remain focused on those goals and to [...]
Earlier this month I mentioned that I had turned fifty. I also mentioned in an earlier post that a few friends had helped me with a secular–or maybe “spiritual”–life-cycle ritual down at the ocean. This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a second and final ritual to mark my fiftieth birthday. In [...]
