About me
Welcome and thank you for visiting! I’m Naomi – a mother, writer, creative soul, and avid reader. I aim to share my thoughts and ideas to inspire positive change that will help you live an authentic and caring life.
Poetic Aperture is for me and for you. I often write just to process the swirling activity inside, but I also hope to inspire COMPASSION, COURAGE, and WONDER in you and support you on your journey of elevating the everyday.
I am a rabbinical student at the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York. I am fortunate to have an amazing 15-year-old daughter and a supportive husband of 22 years.

Dear Lady Jane: you’re growing up
Sweet Girl, You never used to have all these ideas and opinions! Well, maybe you did, but they weren’t expressed with such moxy. I wonder if they come from the media, from kids at school or camp, from babysitters, or … Continue reading
Dear Lady Jane: on your heart’s true value
