A Moment in Time: What Baggage are You Schlepping?

Dear all,

We just bought Maya and Eli some toddler size bags. As they examined the luggage, they began to schlep them around our house. And, of course, it made me think:

What is the baggage we schlep around?

Are we holding a grudge?
Are we taking on too many responsibilities?
Are we playing the martyr?
Are we not kind enough to ourselves?
Are we harboring resentments?
Are we unable to let go?
Are we living with guilt?
Are we being too negative?
Are we managing our expectations?

We all schlep baggage. But today, right now, we have an opportunity to take a moment in time to lighten the load.

After all – the excess baggage fee is never fun to pay!

With love and shalom,

Rabbi Zach Shapiro
