Whether you know that you have a gratitude practice or not, you have a gratitude practice. Your gratitude practice is made up of the number of times a day you complain and the number of times a day you are thankful. (Yours might not be a consciously chosen gratitude practice, and it might not be a beneficial gratitude practice, but, it still is your gratitude practice.)

The Spiritual-Fitness-Self-Assessment is a free, simple downloadable tool that in five minutes will help you to establish where you might have holes in your spiritual- practice.

Learn if you might need help with patience, forgiveness, anger, love, and more.

Rabbi Brian (rB) grew up on the small island of Manhattan. He studied architecture. And, magic. He excelled in school and all things rational. But, he was destined – despite what seems to him to be his own free will – to become a rabbi. And, he did. He full-timed at a congregation for close to four years before dropping out. He transitioned back to school, picking up another master’s degree – this one in education – and teaching inner-city kids mathematics, life, and love. After moving to Portland, where he taught at De La Salle North Catholic High School, his calling urged him to serve an even more needy community – intelligent rational folk who struggle some with spiritual fitness. He does so through his work with the not for profit Religion-Outside-The-Box writing and speaking.

Rabbi Brian lives in Portland, Oregon with his family.
