Inadvertent Opportunity

Yesterday, I sent out an e-mail listing 8 people whose services I have enjoyed and wanted to share. And, I had the computer add a ninth name to each list — yours: <YOUR NAME HERE>!

This led to many people thinking that I was actually singling them out.
Which is awesome. And, a bit awkward.
While I have no qualms making people feel good,I have less desire to mislead.
There is spurious wisdom out there that the Chinese character for crisis is actually opportunity plus danger. While this etymology is bunk, let me still turn this potential issue into an opportunity. For you. And, for me.
If I were to list you on the ROTB services page, what would you have me put?
Here’s an opportunity for you to think of yours.
And, then, what I would put for me.

On a Mission from God
Rabbi Brian
oldrotb.wpengine.com

I work for Religion-Outside-The-Box (ROTB.org) to produce articles, podcasts, as well as in-person and semi-virtual seminars.
My work is to help adults maintain a healthy, adult relationship with God.
I can help you de-tangle your baggage with regard to surrender, society, religion, and God. I won’t tell you want to think, but will help you unlearn, learn, and flesh out for your beliefs for yourself.
I work for God in a “Blues Brothers” meets “John Lennon as an ordained rabbi” kind of way.
My short term goal is to add 31,500 people to the religion-outside-the-box mailing list by July 1. E-mail ideas to help.  My long term goal is to spread love.

This week’s #wisdom_biscuits:
Think about spelling out what you stand for.
When possible, turn challenges into opportunities.  

Refractory Anxiety

I am supposed to arrive at the wedding rehearsal at 4 p.m. I planned on arriving 15–20 minutes early. Because I don’t like being late. However, I took a wrong turn. At the intersection of the I-5 South and the I-405 South, I went the wrong way. Now, I’ll have to turn around in a mile and a half and

No words. No words.

To offset our discomfort about our upcoming visit to the Terezín (in German: Theresienstadt) concentration camp/ghetto, Emmett and I fall into making dark jokes. Gallows humor. “Do you think they still give free tattoos upon arrival?” “Want to wear matching pajamas for our tour?” Dark, ugly jokes.  Because reality is just too overwhelming. The feelings are too overwhelming. So we

Has anyone seen my keys?!

Jane and the kids misplace keys. Not me. I don’t. I always return my key to the keyrack. That’s where they go. When the key isn’t on the hook, which happens from time to time, I find it on some surface in the house. Usually, the kitchen table. Then, without fanfare, I pick it up, hang it up, and restrain
