Hug a jew today :) Happy Yom Kippur


We are on our way to celebrate the day of Atonement with the Cepeda family. Today is a day that represents out with the old and in with the new, it s day meant to experience the joy of breaking free from the past and starting anew..

Here are a few thoughts to send your way and celebrate all the wonderful things to come:

On Yom Kippur, we are given a glimpse of who we can be if we don't fall back into familiar negative patterns and behaviors. Just for that day we transcend our corporality and touch the infinite (or at least we try to).

And we experience joy – the joy of knowing there are no limits to what we can accomplish and how much we can grow, the joy of knowing that we are not trapped by our past actions, the joy of the chance to start anew, the joy of our fresh beginning.

All the mistakes we made in the past are extinguished, are nonexistent. We can make fresh commitments (small ones) and new decisions (also small ones).

Bless you all,

Joe and Ronda
