I'm often asked, "Stella, what is your secret to the work-life balance thing?"

My family and I recently celebrated Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday of atonement. We talked a lot about forgiveness, which is one of the most powerful, growthful, and vulnerable acts we can do in relationships.

Sometimes things don't seem to go my way and it's hard to understand.... "why, why is this happening to me?"

Do you ever find yourself feeling depressed after scrolling on Instagram?

Cue the parting clouds and "hallelujahs". I was down the shore this weekend and upon seeing my suitcase open up, my friend's jaw dropped in awe: "whoa," he said, "you're really organized."
