This message is coming to you with my love and best wishes for your having happiness for whatever holiday you may, or may not, be celebrating.
Yesterday
afternoon, a Cantor friend of mine invited me to a combined Sabbath and Hanukkah celebration service in a synagogue that was also live-streaming it. During the service he would be chanting and singing some of the prayers.
Because of the distance, I “participated” on my computer in the live-streaming of the service. I was glad
that I did. I appreciated the way the Rabbi led the service and both celebrations. A lot of it brought back happy memories.
One of the highlights of the evening for me was following up on the synagogue’s name, “Congregation Beth Oor.” It seemed familiar and I was reminded that in my later teens my family joined Congregation Beth Ohr, closer to
our home in Philadelphia, than the one where I received my religious education. The Rabbi from Beth Ohr married my beloved late-husband Sam and me. Then several years later when we moved from New York to New Jersey Sam and I, coincidentally, joined a different Congregation Beth Ohr, where we were active congregants for 25 plus years.
While researching after services last night I read that “Beth Ohr” is Hebrew for “House of Light.” It's likely I had known that years ago. Taking “Light” further in this conversation, the three holidays currently being, or about to be, celebrated ALL have lights as an important part of them. Hanukkah is
the “Festival of Lights” and lights are significant in Christian religions, as are candles in Kwanzaa celebration.

Moved by this synchronicity, no matter what the circumstances and/or
conversations in your life might be, including those in your head, I invite you to look for where the light and love is. Honor and acknowledge both and be sure to include love for yourself.
Moving forward into the New Year, many people
take on a “word for the year.” Do you? Although, I’ve thought about it and selected a word at times, I’ve rarely focused on it during the year.
Given all these “signs”, I am selecting “light” for 2023 with the intent to keep it present, guiding what I
do. In a way, this has been affirmed for me many times on Yogi Tea tag messages this past year: “Spread the Light; be the Light.”

Lastly, in light :)
of this, it would be remiss of me not to mention the Gift Certificate that I’ve discussed in recent issues. As one of my associates wrote to her subscribers:
“If you still need to give a gift that you didn't plan for earlier, give the
gift of tech coaching for seniors, focusing on iPhone, iPad, and Zoom, including connecting with friends and family, photography, sharing, etc. Great for yourself, your parents, etc.”

Taking it a bit
further, if you, or anyone you know, need/s help/support in finding your/their light, it’s something that I as a Life and Relationship coach also, can make an integral part of whatever technology would be helpful in discovering that. Together we'd be on a "creative journey".
Also, I invite you to share the link with your friends and family members who might be interested in seeing the opportunity of the offer.

To a Happy Holiday and year ahead during which you find many blessings.
With much love. I very much appreciate your being in my life.
To the Joy of Discovery and Transformation,
Living and Loving with No Regrets.
Sheila
