These also fit nicely into...

As you review the checklist I prepared below, I suggest, for each of the items, you reflect, and identify: Where are you today? What steps (going backwards) have you taken this year to get here? What actions will you take in the upcoming year to expand and...

Darkness descends so early, and especially now during December, winter skies and freezing temperatures only exasperate the gloomy feeling for me. Chanukah, the 8-day holiday of miracles which included the military victory of the tiny Jewish Maccabee army that overcame the aggression of the overwhelming Greek and Syrian armies in the 2nd century BCE, always...
