G'mar hatima tova and shana tova!
Oct. 7th, 2008 04:55 pmIn about 25 hours I will head out with my family to Kol Nidre services as we start Yom Kippur. It is traditional at this time of year to ask forgiveness from those we have hurt with words or deed, so in this moment I ask for your forgiveness if in the past year, I have done anything to hurt or offend you, whether intentionally or unintentionally. I hope that in the coming year I may do better.
In return, I will do my best to forget all slights, grudges, and hard feelings I have stored up throughout the year, so that I may begin the year with a clean slate and a clear mind. This part is very easy for me to do with 99.99 per cent of the world - I am not normally a grudge-holder and anything short of calling my office to tell them about my fannish involvement will definitely be easily foregiven and eventually be entirely forgotten.
I've done this sort of posting on LJ to ask forgiveness over the last few years, and I'm never sure if it "counts" so if you want to discuss something specific with me, please feel free to email me about it; I'll be sending out some emails tonight, as well, in between pondering whether having "Heidi is... asking forgiveness!" as my Facebook status or gtalk/ym status counts - I don't think it does because at least LJ has the opportunity for easy replies and dialogue in a way that Twitter doesn't. I am sure there is a facebook comm out there called FORGIVENESS or something like that - will go hunt for it.
May you have a good inscription in the book of life and may the coming year bring joy and happiness to everyone.

Not sure where it was originally created - if anyone knows, please tell me so I can credit it. And if anyone can turn it into an animated icon with four "screens", ending on "He even beats paper." I would really appreciate it.
ETA Ooooh, coolnew icons in the coments. Thanks, gals!

If they were going to take questions from people via the web, I wish they'd used youtube again because Tom reading them wasn't as interesting.
