Define Necessity

Sep 15, 2012 at 06:41:01 PM

Rosh Hashanah is a day when we take stock and re-evaluate our lives – priorities, goals, relationships, the whole shebang.

To me, it starts with defining our bottom-line necessities in life, and then building back up from there.

It's a bit of hard work... but doesn't everything valuable in life require investment and effort?

Wishing you all a sweet year, filled with peace in your heart, in your home, and in our precious world.

Thank you so much. Just what I needed to read and see! Baruch Hashem. It is time to detach ourselves from the lure of materialism and connect to that of principal importance in life - our Spirituality. Shana Tova
