Giving Pause and Choosing Wisely

What is it that gives us pause when we are about to make an important decision? Do we know which decisions, among those we make each day, will truly impact our lives the most? And if we do recognize the 'gates', and we do give pause at the proper moments, how do we weigh out our choices in order to produce the best results? Below please find this weeks Shu-Shine on the Torah portion of 'Shoftim': "Giving Pause and Choosing Wisely". (click "Listen Now", below!) May we all be blessed to recognize the gates within our daily lives as we step through them, and to be blessed with the tools to make the wisest decisions in even the tiniest choices that affect our lives. With Love and a Smile, ~Shu
