This is your very own personal wake up call. What are you avoiding? What are you procrastinating about? Get honest here.- Do you need to make a phone call? (Call during lunch and it will be short.)
- Have you taken any action toward a dream? A baby step will do.
- Do you need a nap? Power naps are “in.” Or take a gentle nap.
- Have you said “I love you” to someone who needs to hear it?
- When was the last time you said “thank you” with eye contact?
- Where do you need to change your perspective?
- What are you looking for in life?
- Are you being true to you?
- Who are you spending your precious time with?
I don’t know who said this first, but I love the message:
“When you get a wake up call, answer the phone,
and when opportunity knocks, answer the door.”
“When you get a wake up call, answer the phone,
and when opportunity knocks, answer the door.”
You have an opportunity RIGHT NOW to take one small action that will make a difference. Just one small thing. Minor tweaking over time has a huge impact! Consider me your very own personal cheering section.
- Read one page of that important book
- Give one dollar to someone that feeds hungry people
- Do one load of laundry
- Contact one business lead
- Say one sincere prayer
- Brush away one tear
- Ease one heart—your heart counts!
You can do this!
Love,
Aunt Laya

Dear Aunt Laya. What a pleasure to stumble onto a newborn blog! I read your missive in the NBN list, and was so impressed with your joyful love of life, I had to read what else you had written. (The eyes are still moist from the video of Jason McElwing.) I have noticed that aliyah and life in general have something in common: if you have a great attitude, the ride is easier. I know I didn't invent this one; but it is fascinating to watch how consistently it bears out. (I had a chiddush about marriage the other day that I will share with you another time... but it falls into the same category.) Anyway... I am writing this to tell you that I hope to lay eyes on you after we make aliyah, bs"d, in 2007. And, in the meantime, I give you a bracha that your work should be successful. Keep touching those hearts. Keep tweaking those attitudes. B'zman hazeh, we need this avodah more than perhaps any other.
