Rosh Hashanah

Four solid hours of sleep, edited four pages for a potential client, and just found out a few minutes ago that I have the job. Yay!

Tonight is the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year (Believe it or not, I know plenty of people who don’t know this, so that is why I said it.). While not the world’s most observant Jewess, especially when you factor in that I am also Wiccan, the New Year always helps me get spiritually centered for what’s to come.

Life is a fucking battlefield on so many levels, and it is true: Only the strong survive. In this, sometimes I wish I didn’t have to be so damn strong. It would be nice to occasionally kick back and let someone else handle the crap. Alas, if you want something done right, you’d better do it yourself.

I won’t be celebrating traditionally or with a house full of family, but I will have two people with me to help me honor my ancestry, and I have friends who will be lighting candles from their end to help me out.

From me to all of you, whether you celebrate or not, may the coming year bring you an abundance of sweetness & serenity. 🙂 L’Shana Tovah!

I will be a little less present here over the next few days. Today is Mabon (the Autumnal Equinox), and Rosh Hashanah begins tomorrow evening. I then have my brother’s birthday to contend with, which apparently involves me cooking him “something good” (If only I knew my track record would catch up with me! LOL. I keep saying “Wouldn’t you rather get something from someplace or go out?” only to be told “No, I want you to cook me something awesome.”, and then he lists 15 different potential things I should apparently make all at once. Poor kid, he’s in a total dream world with expectations like that!). It’s rare that the holidays all fall out on top of one another, but I am taking full advantage of it this week by seeking some serenity and allowing myself to feel spiritually centered. I will still post tidbits, but I might not do any extensive writing until the weekend, or maybe even next week.

Wishing you all a peaceful, even-keeled day. If you’re lucky enough to be experiencing Fall weather, like I am, take the time to enjoy it, because I strongly suspect we’ll be getting an early Winter.

Blessed Be~ Lisa
