The beginning of 2021 offers us an opportunity to reflect on the year that passed.  For many, 2020 was a year of loss.  Loss of jobs, loss of freedom to move about, and loss of friends and loved ones.  Dealing with loss provides a moment of reflection on the importance of life itself.

Life in HD, the personal development show, kicks off 2021 with an episode that teaches us the importance of embracing life even when someone we love is passing.  Author and Rabbi Steve Leder share important lessons outlined in his book The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift. In it he uses personal reflections and heart-warming stories to bring the reader into a conversation about what is important and urges us to live more meaningful, more beautiful lives that are less anxious and less frenetic. This book is a reminder of what truly matters especially in this uncertain time.
