Elul--To Return

Shavua Tov and Hodesh tov!  a new week and the Hebrew month of Elul began today.  During Elul we focus on returning... returning to the one whom we are meant to be and returning to the Holy One.  I am however also noting that i have several bags of clothes, toys etc to return to Target.  I will feel so good to get that off my to-do list!  Ah, returning is good--any way I look at it!! 

Returning takes effort.  May we have strength to pause for a moment (or more!) and begin the process of returning to the goodness, holiness and light that is within us waiting to be re-discovered.
