Sometimes, I just can’t!

The last thing in the world I want is to be a grouch at my family for the Sabbath. I don’t want to be this woman:
“Honey! Kids! Get your hineys in here now, we are going to have a Happy Shabbat even if it kills us!”
This mamma is in tears of frustration and she’s been yelling at her family for the last hour because she can’t pull this off every week on time.
This is not the way to set the mood for the incoming sweet gift Yah gave to us!
Sabbath simplicity

Savoring every moment
For those who juggle demanding schedules and a bustling household, I want to reassure you – the Sabbath was crafted for moments of joy, not stress. Embracing the beauty of rest should be less difficult, and not give you an emotional breakdown.
“The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.“
