That’s a wrap on 2nd grade - a year like no other. All I know is I never want to hear the words “virtual learning” again. 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Now for a summer full of camps before a more normal 3rd grade year begins in the fall!

I am a Jewish American, and I am asking you to pay attention.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
In the past week, attacks on Jews have risen over 400% - outside of Israel.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Synagogue windows smashed. Jews beaten in the streets of LA. Firebombs thrown at Jewish businesses. Calls to rape Jewish women on the streets of London. People chased down and beaten because they are Jewish.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
We’re both afraid and angry. We’re not surprised, but feel increasingly like we’re screaming into a void.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I don’t care what your opinion is on Israel right now. I’m not asking about that and I’m not discussing it. I care that you are SILENT while ordinary Jews are being targeted, beaten, chased down for who they are.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
People like to use Holocaust comparisons all the time. It drives me crazy to see our intergenerational trauma co-opted that way. But you know what? THIS is how it started - with words, with the actions of ordinary people. And the Jews in this scenario are the same ones they were last time - Jews.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
We will keep showing up. We will keep standing up for ourselves. But what about you? Where are the activists that stand up for other marginalized people of the world? Where are you, activists? Why do you not see that another marginalized community needs you? Jews are 0.2% of the world population, and 2% of the US population. We cannot do this alone.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I ask again. where are you?

Today, I am thankful, and marveling at the way the world works. ❤️

One year ago today, I was laid off. It was one of the lowest points in my life, a day I still remember in excruciating detail. I had no idea the journey I’d go through over the next 365 days.

It seems like fate, like poetry, that I get my first dose of the vaccine today. It’s a day I’m reclaiming for hope and for optimism. To add to that, Passover starts tonight - a holiday where we celebrate our perseverance, our hope and trust in our faith, our freedom. ✡️

Today is a good day, and there are so many more of them to come. Chag Sameach!

I haven’t posted here in a month. At first, it was just a few days, but as we went into March, I concentrated on getting through the month.

Like so many of you, March of 2020 was traumatic for me. Between the declaration of a pandemic, transitioning to working from home, a school closure that ended up lasting 10 months, and being laid off, I knew going into this month that the anniversaries were coming. I remember so much of those days in detail, and as the month of the calendar turned to March, I knew I would relive them. So I took some time off here.

It helped. The other thing that helped? A small dose of Lexapro, which I started 4 weeks ago today.

I had thought I’d have all these profound thoughts to say about that tiny little pill I take each day. But the truth is, I just feel...better. I feel much more like my old self, and it’s just that simple. Will I take it forever? I don’t know. I’ll take it for as long as I need it.

Today my husband and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. 🥂

We had always wanted to take a trip this year. I had a plan - a trip away, just the two of us. I wanted to take new photos of us, with our girls, with me in my wedding dress. Needless to say, that just wasn’t in the cards. Maybe next year.

I don’t claim to be an expert on marriage, but I know my own. I know it takes work and understanding, communication and compromise. I know sometimes we drive each other crazy. We’ve had some amazing moments on our marriage and lots of challenging ones (hello 2020). It isn’t perfect, but it’s ours.

Happy Anniversary, babe. Here’s to the next decade. ❤️

Snow day fun for my girls! ⛄️❄️☃️
I had no coal... so the snowman’s eyes are leftover candy from Halloween! 😂

They played for hours... and now are wiped out. Sweet dreams for everyone tonight! 😉😴
