The police were running after me and yelling “STOP!” I was sure I was going to jail. I was driving the wrong way down a one way street. I was afraid to stop because I had a suspended driver’s license and I had no registration in the car. But I was afraid to get shot […]

Almost three years ago I threw out all of my belongings, stopped renting an apartment and lived only in AirBnBs. I moved every few days. I lived out of a carry on bag. I had fewer than 15 belongings, and if I ever bought anything new, I would throw out or give away one of […]

I hate to include my own book. So don’t get that one. But let me tell you about the other four. “Worry” by Edward Hallowell. Everyone worries. 20 million people in the US suffer from some sort of untreated clinical anxiety disorder. Worry is ok. It helps me make deadlines, care about people, care about […]

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of anti-Jewish comments. See below photo. I don’t really know why. I wasn’t really raised Jewish and haven’t been to many Jewish ceremonies since I was a kid. We all know about Jewish people like Albert Einstein, Jonas Salk (polio vaccine), and perhaps the greatest Jewish person of all, […]

I used to get panic attacks and be unable to function. If my bank account goes down,I feel like death. If I’m dating someone and they don’t call me back, I cry and assume it’s over. If someone who has power over me (money, jobs, opportunity) calls me on a Friday afternoon and just says, […]

My first memory is being beaten. I had taken a magic marker, snuck out of my house, and wrote all over the outside wall of my friend’s house. His mom called my mom (or dad, I forget) and the first thing I actually remember is being hit. I don’t remember anything good from that day. […]
