This Sunday afternoon event features several displays, exhibits and children’s activities sharing the impact and traditions of the Jewish community.
Entering the shopping center I noticed several dollar bills on the floor. I picked them up and to my surprise they were six $20 dollar bills. My dilemma. Should I pocket the money and quickly walk away. Or take the money to security. Maybe check at the nearest store if money was reported loss. I could always donate the $120 to my favorite charity. What would you do?

Art makes me happy. It brings me joy. Art relaxes me. When I finish a piece I feel proud of what I made.

I love to write. I have started and stopped hundreds of novels, screenplays, and articles over the years. I can’t seem to find the ambition to finish anything I start. I love the 73 words or less challenge because it gives me clear direction and a starting and ending point. Maybe if I use this best practice of just 73 words per chapter, I will finally complete my masterpiece.
We’ve all seen the dates of birth and death
for example 1900-1965
Between those two dates we carry, the one we enter with and the one we leave by
A thin stroke of ink that holds every laugh, bruise, dare, every right and every wrong…all packed into that small horizontal corridor.
That line is ours to shape, stretch, color, argue with, or celebrate.
Care for the line.
Fill it.
Live it.
