Finally doing what I want to
March 2nd, 2007Tonight I lit the candles for the first time as a female adult. It took me a long time to get to this point, and I am proud to say that the calm I feel in my heart and soul was worth it.
I work on Friday nights, and though I have started a regular practice of going to the rabbi’s house after work; I have never had the joy of lighting candles.
I asked my boss if I could and was suprised to get a positive yes.
They are so beautiful, they fill me with a sense of calm, and happy and fulfillment. I only hope that I will not only continue the practice; but that as time moves on I can dedicate more uninterupted time to the practice.
Today I got two minutes, let’s hope next week for five.
