B”H Most of you know by now about my Birthday Bash – or rather the Birthday Tzedakah Campaign that I launched for my 40th Birthday. Despite having a terrible cold, today I dragged myself out of bed and headed to Aishel House to hand over the Birthday Gift that many of you made possible. I am so grateful to all of you and to G-d for allowing me the opportunity
B”H Hello everyone! Well, apparently, I overdid it at the Nishei Chabad Convention this past weekend in San Antonio, because I woke up Monday morning with a terrible head cold. To top it off, last night, my good friend had a birthday party that involved none-other than one of my favorite things, Zumba! And you know I couldn’t miss it. Well, guess who couldn’t move this morning? Yeah, well since
B”H ¡Hola! I mentioned my dear beloved Yetzer Hara (a.k.a the other “me”) briefly in this post. But, other than that, I don’t mention her too much over here. Before I go further, let me just give a simple definition of the Yetzer Hara so that you can get the gist of what I’m about to share with you. Yetzer Hara: selfish drive that exists in every Jew, primarily interested in it’s
B”H Hello my dear friends and readers! Over the past few days, I’ve received a lot of questions from friends wondering how am I going to celebrate my birthday; especially since this one is a “big” one. This Friday – the 17th of Cheshvan – is my Hebrew birthday and I’m turning 40!!! I already turned 40 in the Gregorian Calendar last Thursday, November 10th, so many asked, “How do
B”H Good morning! Now that you’re taking some steps to reduce financial anxiety and feel more empowered as a result of Monday’s post, let me give this conversation a spiritual spin based on Jewish mysticism. I want to draw your attention to this week’s parasha – Parashat Noah – which contains a beautiful lesson related to none other than… drum roll, please… financial worries! Talk about Hashgacha Pratit! ;-) ¡Buenos días! Ya que
B”H Good Morning Ladies! I’m going on a limb here, with an epic post on a topic that is a bit risky for three reasons: 1- You will see that I’ve made mistakes – plenty of them – but that’s ok with me; 2- Money is something kind of taboo – people don’t talk about it; which is part of the reason I think so many people suffer with money related issues (been
B”H Hello Dear Friends! The Holidays of Tishrei are over and I’m ready to take this year head on and continuing to work on Jewish Latin Princess is of course top of my list. I have so many ideas, but before I move forward I would love to hear from you! Watch the video below and then click on the link. (Spanish video and link also available below). I can’t
B”H Hello! Consider today’s Wednesday Wink my reflection on the first few days of the Holiday of Sukkot and a reminder on looking at life through different glasses. Sometimes we have a switch of perspective naturally, but most often we make a conscious effort to look at things from a different perspective. Other times, people come into our lives and remind us that all we have to do is look at our
B”H Hello my friends, so here we are entering the second half of the month of Tishrei and that of course means, getting ready for Sukkot! Building a Sukkah has thankfully gained tremendous popularity in the past few years and I’ve already heard from several of JLP readers that you’re building sukkot this year. ¡Some of you for the first time! Yay for you! So exciting! Thus, today I’m sharing
B”H I hope everyone is recharged and had a beautiful Rosh Hashanah, both spiritually and physically. I certainly did and am feeling enthused and positive about the new year. As Yom Kippur is fast approaching, now would be a good time to get practical and talk about what to do both in preparation, as well as on the day of. So here’s a practical guide to Yom Kippur – your
