Michelle's Quarterly Blog: Musings after my first couple of weeks in the Kavod House

With the high holidays, the beginning of the school year, and the new move into Moishe House, it has been a whirlwind of a few weeks for me. I have barely time to set up my room, let alone adjust to a new living situation, where my home is the "community home" and where my co-workers are my friends and my housemates. What an exciting new way to start the year! As I reflect on the past few weeks, I am realizing how glad I am that Yom Kippur is just around the corner.

Last year, for Yom Kippur, I spent the day with my partner going over the past year, asking: what were the challenges of the past year? What was most exciting and meaningful about the year? What are my personal goals for the upcoming year? What would I like to change/improve? This exercise was challenging--it's often not easy to stare at my flaws and foibles in the face--but incredibly useful. And, in lieu of the tumult of the last few weeks, I think that a similar exercise is warranted for this year. So, here are a few of my personal/professional goals relating to my involvement in the Moishe House Boston that I'm currently mulling over.

1. Balance my work life (both at Moishe House and also, my other, full-time job) with ny need for alone time, time with friends, and self-care. It seems that the work can expand endlessly, and it is very easy, given that I am living in at the Moishe House, to lose any boundaries.

2. Keep up with my housecleaning chores.

3. Develop skills in organizing. I am excited about the prospect of cultivating Jewish leaders and empowering community members to claim ownership over their community. This is something that is still new for me, and somewhat daunting.

4. Being open to constructive feedback from fellow housemate and community members.

5. Retain the pleasure that I had originally experienced through being involved as a community member in the Moishe House community now as a housemate.

Shana Tovah to everyone! To another year of growth and joy....
Michelle
