We just kicked off the new Jewish year of 5781 on Rosh Hashanah this week, so here are a couple of downloadable free graphics to get you inspired & motivated for the new year!

After an unexpectedly long hiatus, I've decided to get back to blogging on this website.

Thank God, I've been blessed with a full family life & ongoing writing projects.

So I never intended to put off posting here for so long. It was one of those things for which I always meant to make the time, but just didn't.

Sometimes, I thought of ideas for a post that didn't seem to fit here. Other times, I just didn't push myself to flesh out the suitable idea simmering in my mind for months.

Still, I'm not yet sure how often a post will appear here. But my intention is to post at least more than I have until now (as opposed to letting over a year go by with no sign of life)!

For those who kept checking in throughout the down-time, you have my appreciation and gratitude.

And for those checking out this blog out for the first time—welcome & thank you!

Right now, I'm working on creating real blog posts (and not just announcements of a new book launch).

In the meantime, please enjoy the motivational poster below, which you can download & use for free, no attribution necessary.
