So here we are. The secular year 2017 is just around the corner, and you know what that means, right?

As meaning-seekers, it is only natural that we look back to remember where we’ve been, even as we strain our figurative necks to check out what lies ahead. We look inside ourselves, review our convictions and behavior, consider interactions with friends, loved ones and the world at large. To put it simply, it is time to both reflect upon and re-imagine who we are as human beings.

**I know, I know, we Jews did this during the High Holy Days.

Well, while everyone else catches up, let’s stand by patiently and review our progress.

Are you on track? I’m not.

The good news is that if you are reading this there is still time to do better.

**Let’s make a plan. We’ll take a short break, seriously contemplate what changes are needed, and meet back here the first week in January to share our thoughts.

Okay then. I’ll talk to you very soon.

Wishing you blessings galore!
