I’m sure you don’t want to keep hearing me go on and on about my new healthy lifestyle.  So I’ll keep it to the important updates.  Last night was a new moon.  I had Hebrew School but some of the women of our temple had a new moon ceremony.  It’s a women’s holiday among us.  We get together with good food and drink and welcome the new moon in the sky and new beginnings into our lives.  There are a lot of things YOU can do to celebrate with us.  Check out the picture below.  Mostly, just looking within and giving yourself time to think.  You can do it before you get up or just before you go to sleep.

I like to go to the New Moon Ceremony when I can.  I’d really like to host one at my new home.  Think of it, a bunch of amazing ladies sitting around a bonfire, laughing, singing, praying and being at one with the trees and the flowers.  Not a bad way to spend an evening, huh?!  This video is a new moon bonfire.  It took place in August, but that still works.  The strange sounds you are listening to are singing bowls.  They are very soothing – kind of like wind chimes. You can also hear the crickets singing in the background.  I feel more relaxed already.  How about you?  XXOO
