Good message
It's good to be reminded of first things, the basics from time to time.

Healing from emotional traumas during the last 30 years is quite a challenge.
. I wish that it was so easy to dump the negative garbage. It
has taken me years to recognize that the abuse I received affected how I feel about myself, my behavior patterns and my fear of people.
I am working very hard to clean my house. Today Lori reminded me that I am not alone in the healing process. Yes, Hashem is with me always.
Thank you

Especially loved this one- what a lovely message!
I am a big fan of Lori's. I often find myself smiling and nodding as I watch her video messages. She often expresses what I have in my heart. Thanks and keep them coming!

Very well said
I never thought of Sukkot, or the Sukkah itself quite that way before. Thanks for bringing more meaning to this Holiday for us.

embrace the good times
It's best to embrace the good times, as opposed to dwelling on bad moments in the past (even though the latter may be rather easier to do, given the "baggage"). Thus, getting back to basics will help us become closer to G-d with the Jewish people - I indeed have very good times when I am with Jewish peers either for lunch or during shabbatons such as in Israel.
