New Year, New Beginnings

One of the things I love about being Jewish are the opportunities for reflection and connection. Instead of making New Years resolutions once a year... I get to make them twice! And usually that means beating myself up twice as much for not following through. Beating myself up twice as much for another year passing and all of the new signs of time on my face, my body and my heart. This year I’m committing to be different.

We can all agree the 5780/2020 has been one of the most challenging years of our lifetimes. But with challenge comes opportunity for growth. I went into this past year more optimistic than I ever had in previous years. I really felt and believed that everything I’d been working towards and hoping for would come to fruition this past year. As they say, we plan and G-d laughs. It didn’t happen exactly the way I thought or hoped it would… but it’s happening exactly as it’s supposed to and exactly how I need it to. I hoped that this would be “my year” for love and for career growth and fulfillment. And although it’s not what I thought it would look like… I did find it. I found more love within and for myself than I’ve ever had before. I found more fulfillment in the pause of life and spending quality time with my family than I thought would be possible. And my career took a turn that scared the hell out of me… but is turning out to be better than I ever could have imagined.  I’ll be sharing more about that soon. I’m just so excited to be incorporating my experience in the music industry with my background in psychology and personal growth, and my passion for activism and helping people achieve their dreams. I truly feel like I’m following my calling and I know I wouldn’t have gotten here if it wasn’t for all of the hardships of this past year. 

I can’t wait to share it all with you in the weeks and months ahead. My goals for 5781/2021 include to share more, connect more, appreciate more, and inspire more. I very rarely post pictures of myself because I can be so critical of myself... but as my 13 yr old niece told me this morning - if you want to help others shine their light, you have to recognize the light within you! The student may have become the teacher 😉. So here it is. I’m finding the light within.

As the Jewish new year brings new energy to all of the world, may we all tap into that energy and feel so much peace, love and joy that the troubles of this past year seem like a distant memory. Shana Tovah!
