Rosh Hashanah Message: Elana Frank

Embracing Presence: A Rosh Hashanah Blessing 2023

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, I find myself on a journey toward being more present in my daily life. With the guidance of my Executive Coach, I’m learning that it doesn’t always require a major shift in our routines; even dedicating just 30 seconds a day to being aware of our surroundings, our thoughts, and our blessings can make a profound difference.

This Rosh Hashanah, my wish for you is simple yet powerful: the ability to take a moment, even in the midst of life’s challenges, and pause to see the beauty that surrounds us. In the rush of our busy lives, it’s easy to become consumed by worries, responsibilities, and hardships. But within those brief pauses, we can find solace, gratitude, and a renewed sense of purpose.

May this new year grant us all the strength to embrace the present moment, to acknowledge the blessings in our lives, and to see the beauty that exists even in the most difficult of circumstances. As we enter this season of reflection and renewal, may we find the serenity to be fully present, and may it bring us closer to the peace and fulfillment we seek.

L’Shanah Tovah Tikatevu – May you have a blessed and mindful year ahead.
