Today's energies are Netzach/going forward in determination and in Hod/Gratitude and Appreciation.

My inner strength to move forward in Netzach comes from the Divine, as does my grateful acknowledgment in Hod for all I have and endure.

It is my inner strength that allows me to pursue with passion and depth, and not give up;  to shoot a photograph for a photo group challenge them that must meet standards or create a greeting card or design an event flyer, until I succeed at my desire to create a good product. These are small personal projects that help me to bring joy to our world, part of my earthly mission.

What are the obstacles in my path in order to succeed, and then to reach a state of Hod/splendor and gratitude?
 Does trying, and succeeding help me purify myself, my qualities, toward preparing for Shavuot?
 How can I best show gratitude for all that I have, and have endured to achieve success?

  I know that challenges are to be spiritually seen as blesSings, but only when the blesSings are revealed do I understand that belief. 

Despite trials, I call on the Light of my soul, and I can meet challenges.

I thank G*d for opening my eyes to witness beauty in our world and give me strength to face each day. With my photos of nature I try also to reveal G*d's Face for others.  Witnessing In Hod, I am in awe and grateful for G*d's gifts.
