Today, I wanted to share something personal with you.

The ego has a strong-arm over us in many ways.

And what does the heart desire? Simply, to be.

We can have the best material in the world. The finest ingredients—our talents, dreams, values. The clearest vision. The most equipped kitchen—our environment. We can be surrounded by the best people. But without safety mechanisms to regulate the pressure inside, the whole thing can blow.

Sometimes, there are no words to be said. Listening is all that’s needed. Because in those moments, it’s not about you—it’s about the one sitting across from you.

A shift often feels like a walking contradiction—where going forward requires going backward first. That “backward” can look like many things, but one key way is through shortening the circuit of our brains and minds.

In Genesis, creation didn’t end with doing.It ended with seeing.“And God saw all that He had made, and it was very good.”

In the Jewish tradition, Shemita (the Sabbatical Year) and Yovel (the Jubilee) are sacred times built into the fabric of life—not as a disruption, but as a rhythm of reset.

We don’t experience the elements or individuals in our lives for what they are, but for how they show up. We often mistake someone’s role for their purpose—when in reality, the two aren’t causal, just  correlated.

“How did you know I needed that?”

“If only I had done this, then things could have turned out so differently.”

Life is a journey that begins with the spark of an idea and ends with a sense of completion—not death, but a moment of fulfillment. Too often, we think of "end" as something final, something we need to fear. But what if we saw it as a natural point of completion instead? This shift changes the narrative—making the journey itself the story, not just the destination.
