This Elul (2013) i have read many beautiful pieces on the importance of asking for forgiveness from the transgressions that we commit against our selves.   I am grateful for of all who have written about this and who have helped me to articulate my own teshuva prayer: To The One To Whom I Belong:  for the mistake of self-hate, for the mistake of criticizing and judging my body-Your beautiful work of creation, for the mistake of not resting when i so desperately need it, for the mistake of always thinking others come first, for the mistake of not believing in my own vision, mission, purpose and for the mistake of forgetting that I am forever in your divine embrace… I forgive myself, with your Blessing and your Love.   One Day At A Time.
