I love this post! I think it’s very important to sort and sift what you are doing like you are doing!🤓 I think G-D is waiting for each one of us to set aside some real time to focus on what’s important in an intimate way. I recently joined a group of women who encourage each other to spend a set time each day talking to G-D. Guess what? The hardest thing was for me to sit down at the appointed time, and say, “Hi G-D, it’s me, I’m trying this new way of connecting one to one with YOU! Why is this so hard? And why do I feel so uncomfortable and squirmy? I know You, You know me… do you even want this hitbodedut thing? Isn’t hitbonnenut an even better way of connecting?” I set the timer for 8 minutes, surprised the monologue didn’t take 5 minutes 🤔. Then my mind wandered in the awkward minutes of silence left; I said my bedtime Shema, and went to sleep. 😴 no tossing and turning either. Yes, I decided I like it: not every night, not by the timer, and not in comparison to anyone else’s program.
Awesome!
I love this Edna!! It’s so true G-d is waiting for us and it can be so awkward lol!!!

Comparison robs Joy, ( one of my mantras).
