Stop Forcing, Start Listening

Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair. Some people seem to have all the luck, while I seem stuck in first gear. And man, I want things to change! After all, you should just hear the way I complain and groan about my circumstances... But while I so very, very much want things to change, sometimes the one thing I am most avoiding changing is 'me'. Below please find a Shu-Shine for the Torah portion of 'Balak' - "Stop Forcing, Start Listening". (click "Listen Now"!) May we each be blessed to let go of our stubbornness to demand things to be as we wish them to be, and replace that energy with the strength to move our own selves into a place more aligned with the blessings we seek from God. This week's Shu-Shine is dedicated in the merit of all the awesome phans I had the privilege of meeting this past Shabbat at SuperBall IX, and to all of our In-Reach/RV 'Chevre'. Thanks for sharing in the light! With Love and a Smile, ~Shu
