Rosh Hashana

Many people approach the High Holidays as a solemn time, but I see it equally as a joyful time of year.  It’s a time that is ripe with new possibilities!  It’s a time to envision our upcoming year, return to our true selves and start fresh.

I have been giving myself some sacred time and space to prepare.  Here are some questions that have helped me spur my vision for this year:

In what ways would I like my new year to be different?

How can I be more authentically myself?

Who do I need to forgive (this could include myself as well as others)? 

What do I need to let go of that doesn’t serve me anymore?

And finally, what beginning steps can I take to move forward towards my vision?

May the High Holiday season bring you hope as you embark on a new year full of promise, and may the best of yourself shine forth to enrich your life and the lives and others.
