G'mar Chatimah Tovah....

May this coming year END the cycle of Karmic Backlash for once and for all...
May the slate be wiped CLEAN as we enter the next stage of our lives...
May all things superfluous, superficial,
take their appropriate place at the BOTTOM of our list of priorities...
May our relationships PROSPER as a result of our new, enlightened ability to EMPATHIZE....
May ALL things  EXTERNALLY BEAUTIFUL be directly reflective of INTERNAL GOODNESS...
May our families and friends be blessed,
not ONLY with esteemed, good health and happiness...
but with a TRULY REFINED, MORAL COMPASS...
and a GRAND APPRECIATION of lessons learned....
And finally....
May LUCK ,OPPORTUNITY,
and the ABILITY to SEIZE and RECOGNIZE them as such....
 be forever ingrained into our MINDS and HEARTS....

G'mar Chatimah Tova,
