Grace Within Eternal Mastery, 22 Days Omer 5783
Today is twenty-two days, which is three weeks and one day of the Omer, in the year 5783. חסד שבנצח, Chesed ShebeNetzach, Grace within Eternal Mastery. Allowing ourselves to trust our Souls to direct us to our life’s work. Today is also my favorite American Jewish Hong Konger’s birthday.

Our Life’s Purpose Is Within Us
One of the hardest things to do is separate the voices within. To understand the difference between habit and true focus. To clarify whether our soul is speaking, or we are following our ego’s desires, our Yetzer HaRa (inclination towards destructiveness), or our desire to fit in.
The Path of the Omer helps us make space to listen to ourselves.
All Spiritual Journeys help us deepen our relationships with our souls.
This is Jewish mindfulness: paying attention to each day, counting them up, reflecting on their abundance.
It is NEVER too late to be who you want to be
I was ordained a rabbi at 44 after six years in graduate school.
What goal have you been putting off because it feels too outrageous?
Life gets in the way of all of us.
Teshuvah, choosing to return to our Inner Life’s Path, is the key.
Listen to the Still, Small Voice Within
Not the voice of acquisition who always wants a new shiny bauble.
Not the voice of despair who will never allow us to measure up to our neighbor.
Not the voice of fear, who worries that if we really try, we’ll fail.
Not the voice of scarcity, who is sure there will never be enough (money, time, ability) to accomplish our true goals.
Allow the Soul of the Universe to hold us into our fullness.
Allow the Divine Voice to whisper Truth into our limbs.
Allow the Fullness enveloping us to trust us into action.
Allow the Certainty emanating from our souls to announce our life’s purpose.
