Cell phone chargers, gas stations, the supermarket, sleep. Refueling is something that is part of the fabric of life. There is so much we want to accomplish, destinations to travel to, projects to complete, but without proper nutrition (and a charged cellphone), we become incapacitated.
Shabbat. It's the day of rest. When we take a break from the usual chaos of the mundane workweek, and we take the time to get back to ourselves, to reflect, and to be refreshed for when the cycle of life begins again.
But it's not just a lack of a crazy schedule. It's not just about a break from the homework and conference calls. It's not a pause button. Shabbat uplifts. Shabbat recharges our battery. It infuses us with the energy required for us to navigate the week.
In the Kaballah it states דמיניה מתברכין כולהו יומין - all the days of the week are blessed from Shabbat. 
It's like a micro Rosh Hashanah empowering us to face the challenges ahead.
Once a month we have a super-powered Shabbat. It's called Shabbat Mevorchim - the Shabbat that blesses - and it influences the entire month. It's the Shabbat before Rosh Chodesh (the start of the month in the Jewish lunar calendar) and it gives us a turbo-boost. We come out of this Shabbat with engines blazing, spiritual grocery cart full, rearing to go and tackle everything that awaits us. We've got our gear and are ready for the adventure of life.
So take a look at your calendar and see what's coming up in your life. Of course, there's Passover (and a beautiful Community Seder), there's the Grand Opening one week from Sunday (it's going to be amazing!), and there's everything from JSprouts Tinkergarten, to a Model Matzah Bakery(make your own Matzah!). And then there's your personal agenda. A doctor's visit with an optimistic prognosis, a test to pass with flying colors, a personal best at the gym, a world record to break. How do we gather the strength to climb that mountain? This Shabbat, fill up your metaphorical canteen and grab a protein bar. Light Shabbat candles (5:54pm), sing the Kiddush, recite your favorite Jewish prayer. The energy buffet is open and we're all invited.
