Blogging is what I do. I love writing and sharing my heart, my mind, and my soul.
Reflection Time Selfie
If this is your first time reading this series of my blog, please take a moment and read the introduction Elul Journey: A New Year Is Emerging – 5775 http://t.co/Y6vmXdO6GJ
Today is 6 Elul or 24 days until 5775; it is a time to reflect and to choose ways in which I can best move towards the High Holy Days and the days that follow. While it is not easy to navigate life’s journeys, I always get to decide how to approach my life. In this moment, I am choosing to walk gently and embrace each step with openness. As I say this, I also realize that this would be a good time for a reality check.
During each blog post of my Elul Journeys, I will share a poem, a saying, a teaching that has helped me navigate the world. Let me know what you think!

SEEK THE PATH OF THE SOUL
and let your spirit show you the way.
EMBRACE THE TRUTH
as you would a beloved friend,
and revel in the freedom that she brings.
VIEW THE WORLD
through loving eyes that see
goodness and beauty all around.
PRACTICE THE ART
of seeing with your eyes closed
and your mind open.
SUMMON THE COURAGE
to paint your own destiny

Each and every verse above gives me a sense of peace and balance. They are a reminder of all that I strive to do and how I walk in the world. As is my long-winded nature, I want to share my thoughts on each verse, but for today, I trust you to find your own meaning in each and every word.
Beauty comes from inhaling the wisdom that surrounds you – Use what works and release what does not.
With blessings & light,
Chava
