Clarity and Freedom

With Passover just hours away, my head is filled with thoughts of family, friendship, learning, immersion, work, the Jewish community, Jewish values, and the week's menu.  In the past year, I have found great peace of mind and a sense of clarity in letting go of some the lighter modern day enslavements.  I am truly blessed which gives me my greatest peace and clarity.  So, in the spirit of Passover, and the desire to be free of enslavements, I am using this time to recommit to liberating myself.

• Clarity - I am who I am 
• Freedom - To continue my search for who I am
• Clarity - I love my family 
• Freedom - Sometimes life is difficult and I still want them around 
• Clarity - I have the best job in the world 
• Freedom - I am committed to the cause which allows me to enjoy the work on even the toughest days
• Clarity - I have more to do
• Freedom - I can do whatever I want
• Clarity - I have great friends and special people in my life
• Freedom - I am committed to working towards deepening these friendships and showing them that I love them and appreciate them.  
• Clarity - There are only 24 hours a day
• Freedom - It is impossible to do everything all the time.
• Clarity - I prefer to be kind
• Freedom - I prefer to be kind even when others can't. 
• Clarity - I have a future
• Freedom - I have a future

Passover is a great time to reflect on the "enslavements" in your life that keeps you from being your best, most joyful, and most compassionate self.  Being kind is one way to shed the anger, the resentment and the sadness. Therapy works too.  My 

Wishing everyone a sweet and meaningful Passover,
