Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
I write a blog about blogging a book into existence. (I’m actually blogging a book about how to blog a book.) So, I’m always looking for information on what types of blogs are being found by agents and publishers and turned into books. Today I found an article about an awesome blog that was found [...]
I’m so struck today by the fact that worry constitutes just another form of negative thinking. In this current economy, many of us are stuck worrying – and thinking negatively. Thus, we create just what we don’t want. Worry places us in the future, only it does so in a negative manner. It places our [...]
Today, the 17th of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar, marks the anniversary of many terribly events. The first of these came when Moses smashed the first set of tablets he obtained atop Mt. Sinai after he found the Israelites worshiping the Golden Calf. Then, on the same date, the Babylonians entered Jerusalem in 586 B.C.E. The [...]
Just when things seem the worst, often they get better. I tend to push for better by focusing my thoughts on the positive, training my mind on being grateful, looking for opportunities in the challenges, taking positive action where possible, and generally doing what I create change.

I just returned from the San Francisco Writers Conference.

I’m making affirmations of action. In my case, this means writing and completing a new booklet and ebook [...]
I often receive emails from our local Chabad rabbi, Yochanan Friendman, who I like very much. He actually taught my son to lay tefillin, and inspired him to do so for a month – actually more – and bought him a beautiful tefillin bag for doing so. (I’ve done some editing for his father, Manis [...]
Remember that old song, “Can’t live, when living is without you. Can’t live, can’t live any more!” I don’t know who sang it, but today the words are running through my mind with a slight variation on the words. “Can’t live, when living is focused on you.” Yeah, that’s right. I admit it. I’ve been [...]
Ever wonder about co-creation? I don’t mean the type of co-creation we do with God. I mean the kind we do with the people in our lives. I’ve been wondering about it a lot lately. My husband is going through a rough patch. He’s between jobs and doing consulting here and there. It’s a stressful [...]
