I am still around

I look at this title, Light, Life and Love...  I wrote it a really long time ago.  My life is totally different then it was when I posted last, yet the title is still appropriate.  I am theater lighting designer still, and now I have a new light in my life.  I am the Director of Operations for a nonprofit where we distribute solar lights to people around the world who do not have access to clean light.  3 years ago, I had no idea that light would still be a key factor in my life.
I just finished my Master in Nonprofit Administration at the University of San Francisco.  I work part time from home for One Million Lights and part time at the Mountain View Performing Arts Center.
Kol is my trouble toddler now and still sleeps in my bed.
I am still 25 pounds overweight.
Talyah is my growing amazing 1st grader.
My husband loves his job.
We live in sunny California now and love it.
Maybe in my new free time of not going to grad school, I will blog.  We will see.

Less Waste For Earth Day

This year in Salem, the waste disposal people expanded their compost program. I now compost or recycle virtually everything and ultimately end up with like 2 trash bags a week for my household not including diapers. As a part of my year to a better self I am going to try to reduce our food waste. Step 1: Save cereal crumbs at the end of boxes to coat chicken fingers in or to make muffins with. Step 2: Shred and freeze foods to bake with. Step 3: Puree and freeze foods for Kol's baby food. Hopefully these ideas will help us be better to our environment as well as ourselves!

Surreal Delray Beach

There are only a few places in this multicultural country of ours where you will find large populations of stereotypical jews. Delray Beach is one of those. From my grandmother who yelled at the kosher butcher about the size of the chickens to the old jewish couple complaining about the orthodox jews at the movie theater. Walking into Glicks is like one of the most surreal things, with endless options of kosher food, meat, milk, pareve whatever my tastebuds desire. I am sure that life in Delray Beach is comforting to the older generations of Jews, it is what a lot of them grew up with in Boston, New York and New Jersey. It is also what I grew up with, I grew up in a town that was 80% Jewish and I do find it comforting to be around kosher food and grandmothers, but I wouldn't trade it for the life that I have in an area of not so many jews. I think that by being in a small community it makes me feel more Jewish, I meet people who have never met a Jew or just don't know any...

on the right track?

Yesterday we cleaned the house, I love clean houses. Today I went to the gym for the first time since January and it felt good. Tonight I took Kol and Talyah by myself to gymnastics and handled it fine. Bedtime rolled around and even with yelling, kicking, crying, screaming and whining, I got both girls into bed at 8pm. Not that they are asleep yet, but still I count it as success.
