Focusing on Weekly Lessons

My brain is full of everything that is going on around the world, but I choose to pass on the beautiful lessons that I learned in the past two weeks.  Every week we study a different section of the Torah, and understand it based on our own circumstances, age, and it is infinitely applicable as we read it year after year.

Two weeks ago was my favorite Parsha, lesson of the week.  I identify with finding something that fits after living a life of going with the flow, happenstance and experience it all mentality.  What I love the most as I learn it every year, I learn something new, and this year it reaffirmed why it is my favorite, because it is about my favorite topics of balance and self care.  It really humanizes our amazing leader and sage and is relateable to our life and relationships today.

This weeks lesson is about how important it is to get along with each other, and it was the lesson that I heard from the Rabbi yesterday in the synagogue.  It is so important not to force religion or beliefs on anyone, it does exactly the opposite, it turns them off and scares people away.  I am blessed to be in a community where everything is about celebration and doing everything 100% because this is an amazing way to live a full, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and a very fulfilling physical life. Healthy intimate relationships, amazing food and drink, truly enjoying earthly pleasures in a conscious, focused, elevated state of mind.

Blessed,
I will be getting to all the craziness going on in the world this whole week,
I had to recharge with goodness first,

Still in my pajamas, getting the thoughts out before my fun day with kids begins
