Welcome back to the HOP!

This week the question is: Are you superstitious? Tell us about it.

I had to think about this one. I would say, I’m not superstitious, but… I grew up with some superstitions that are silly and even though I’m not sure I believe in them; I still follow those traditions. Here are some Jewish superstitions for you to think about.

• Never give knives as a gift as it’s bad luck. (If you give money with the knives, it negates the bad luck)
• Always put money in a purse or wallet if you give it as a gift. (It brings the one gifted good fortune.)
• Throw coins on the floor of a new car for good luck.
• Never step over someone as it stunts growth. (This is a super silly one, but why tempt fate. lol)
• Never leave your purse on the floor if you want to keep your money.
• Don’t take the direct rout home from the cemetery as evil spirits will follow you home.
• Wear a metal pin on your clothes when you embark on a journey for good luck.
• Never leave a holy book laying open.
• Never hand a knife directly to another person. Always place it on the counter and let them pick it up.

I know some of these are silly and I don’t remember to do most of them, but this is fun. What kind of superstitions did you grow up with?

BEN

The heart attack I thought I had turned out to be an anxiety attack. My doctor’s orders—take a month off from being Mayor of Roseville. Bulldozed by my large but tightknit family, I agree to a yoga and meditation retreat in Southern California. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the woman who owns the place would turn my world upside-down. Portia is too young for me. Geographically, too far away from me. She’s also everything I never knew I wanted.

PORTIA

When my friend asks me to help her cousin-in-law manage his stress, I agree immediately. I’d do anything for a friend. She told me he’s the mayor of her town, so I’m expecting some old guy. Far from it. Ben Lane is six-feet-two inches of I-want-to-strip-you-naked-and-take-you-to-bed man. I’m turned on the minute I see him. How I could go from someone who’s never been infatuated to I-can’t-live-without-you is some kind of miracle. I’m pretty sure the miracle is Ben.
