Returning to your purest soul = Teshuvah
Teshuvah*
Begins with being honest with yourself
Facing the rawness of who you are
Elohai Neshama*
Finding the infinite possibilities as you come to grips with reality

Teshuvah
Believing in the future even as you wrestle with your demons and face the past head on
Dancing with the truth
Knowing that nothing is ok, not now
Yet seeking a balance, a time when all can be ok.
*Teshuvah comes when you look inside yourself and dig for the truths of your soul. In the end of the day, we have the opportunity to reach out and to reach in as we become our most authentic selves. Often we need to become transparent and sometimes we need to say that we are sorry. More often than not, what I need is to find my truth and listen.
**Elohai Neshama – God gave me my soul. Is God all-powerful? I don’t know. All I know is that I am pure because of my soul. And it is my job to live in the most purest way I can. The universe calls me to action; I am alive because the universe still has a role for me. May I have the strength and the wisdom to honor the universe (including myself and others) by doing what is right, what is good.
Reflections
My journey over the years has been to seek integrity by living consciously and honestly as a human being. What makes me soar? What makes me smile? What makes me laugh? Can I cry when the tears are calling out? Sometimes. . . .I am, after all, a human-being. I am striving and growing each moment that I am alive.
My intentions matter. And honoring my intentions is part of my soul’s journey.
Teshuvah is about honoring the realness, the darkness, the realities of life, of my life. As I prepare for the journeys of my soul, I pray that I am always living in a place of honesty with myself and others.
May I be blessed with the integrity by reaching to be my highest self.
