HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Thank you for all of the birthday wishes. Want to celebrate with me? Support tikkun olam and make our world a better place. Here are a few organizations doing great work to consider.

Thank you to Bookfest for including me as a speaker again! I spoke at the Fall Bookfest 2023 and this year on the Oh The Places You Will Go Travel Panel for Fall 2024. My memoir won TWO AWARDS at the event!!

Thank you to all of the podcast hosts who have interviewed me! This article has links to five Jewish podcasts including Jewish Sacred Aging, Too Jewish, Search for Meaning, Taste Buds with Deb and The Jewish Lens where I was interviewed about my memoir, BRAVE-ish!

Thank you Loraine Morrill for inviting me on your iHeart Radio show to talk about my memoir, BRAVE-ish. Listen to our discussion here!

Thank you to Ilyssa Panitz, The Divorce Journalist, for inviting me on her show, Ways Thru Divorce, Ep 7.

“Divorce can push your stress levels to the max, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up on taking a vacation or enjoying your time with your kids. On Ways Thru Divorce on Your Home TV, we talk to Lisa Niver about the benefits of travel during divorce and how to plan an affordable, fun itinerary for your family.” Watch now: https://wtd.yourhometv.com/

Thank you Nicole Pajer for including me in your Huffington Post article on TRAVEL: “The Common Pieces Of Travel Advice You Should Actually Ignore“

“One piece of advice you should ignore is people who say you do not need travel insurance. You do when something goes wrong,” said Lisa Niver, a travel expert and author of “Brave-ish: One Break-up, Six Continents and Feeling Fearless After Fifty.” “I have been in a hurricane on a ship, my cruise company went bankrupt seven days after Sept. 11, medical emergencies, dive accidents. Trust me get travel insurance!”

One of the best things about Los Angeles is the The Hollywood Bowl! Watch this playlist with 16 videos from my favorite concerts!

I went to the Hollywood Bowl four times this summer and saw the final concert with stellar performances from both Paula Abdul and Boyz II Men! What a GREAT NIGHT! Can you hear my friend singing along in the videos?

This month included Rosh Hashannah, Yom Kippur, my birthday and Sukkot. Most of these times I focus on joy and thinking about my goals in the new year. However, it was also the one year anniversary of the horrific attacks on Israel on Oct 7, 2023, and there are still 101 hostages in hell after being taken by Hamas. Please join me in praying every day that they will soon return.

Do you love audiobooks? My memoir, Brave-ish, is available on all audio platforms! Did you know that authors have to audition to narrate their books?

Thank you to Joanne Fink for my birthday name art! Find her work at Zenspirations and on my social. I shared her art for Rosh Hashannah and Sept 11 remembrance.

More photos from my California cruise on the Ruby Princess and my birthday celebrations coming soon!
