B”H Good morning everyone! If you like meringue you’ll love today’s recipe and if you haven’t discovered meringue… you’ll thank me later!

B”H The blogging world is somewhat of a faux perfect world… bloggers seem to have these pretty and prefect lives… Not true. So, I want to come out clean here and be honest and say, no I’m not perfect and I do not have a perfect life. Now, according to Tanya while we might not be perfect, we have the ability to achieve behavioral perfection. (If you’re mystically inclined, please

Recently, I discovered Stella Jean’s designs through my friend Albertina’s blog, Mimosa Lane. Albertina always has the best finds and this one just stopped me on my tracks, because the skirts… oh the skirts. I researched Stella Jean’s designs a bit more and loved the skirts. A bold, yet quite

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
