This is a page from my Jewish Junk Journal today, part of my Soul Seforim collection. I have bookshelves and file cabinet drawers full of them, providing testimony to my learning and spiritual growth.
Sometimes I look back at these pages and marvel at what I've learned and experienced. Today is Rosh Chodesh Elul, so I have my Soul Seforim for 5783 all set up so I can go through them as I consider my annual teshuva work that begins in Elul.
My new Elul Plan involves first looking back at what I did right. Meaning, before launching in and working on what I need to improve, I am choosing to focus on my mitzvot and accomplishments of 5783. These hand-made Soul Seforim REALLY help me do this. I can visually. tangibly see what was important to me and why. I can see a path, my journey through the past year.
