Create a Balance

“I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the place in you, where lies your love, your light, your truth and your beauty. I honor the place in you, where…if you are in that place in you … and I am in that place in me…then there is only one […]

From the darkness she rises. Holding on to inspiring visions, covering her ears as she hums loud enough to ignore her inner critics (click here to hear the song she is humming), she nearly knocked me down this week. 
I had no choice but to find the time to meet her needs. Within a matter of days, […]

I did it! I created a post on Chicago’s craigslist in search of people interested in forming a succulent wild writers group in the Evanston/Skokie area. Since I returned from Kripalu, I have not been successful in finding a creative community or a writers group….so I decided to create my own.
Please forward this post or my contact information if you know anyone […]

I am about to burst with excitement!
I am on SARK’s Website!

For anyone who read my rave review of SARK’s Juicy Pens Thirsty Paper workshop in my May 2008 Life Balance Report post or my This is How I Dare post knows how awakening this workshop was for me. At the end of the workshop, SARK gave […]

Money Magazine is providing a seven-week easy-to-follow plan to help you get your finances in order. I like the concept of taking seven weeks to get focused on finances.

The thought of Monday mornings have been painful for me this summer. By Sunday evening I’m just getting into the groove of my summer love affair with my family. Splashing, dancing, kicking, running, laughing, and playing are but few of the fun action words describing my weekend w/ my boys. Watermelon, schwarma, ice cream, sushi, cantelope, smoothies, and popsicles are […]

As a life balance enthusiast, I use many tricks to rummage the web for blogs that spark my interest. Today I found a web site called Life Balance, but the URL is http://kathrynworthingtonsmythe.blogspot.com. The first thing that I was drawn to was Kathryn’s definition of Life Balance:
“Life Balance: A feat we try to achieve while searching to […]

In my Life Balance Report - May 2008 post, I admitted my poor score on staying organized and declared to readers that June will be better. So far, it has gotten worse. How do I balance household chores with wanting to spend all of my free time outside playing? Hmmmm….do I soak in the shade on […]

For all of you searching to find Monday balance, after a summer filled weekend, I’d like to share one of my favorite poems with you. I’m working on treating all of my grouchy life visitors honorably and with open arms. I recognize everyone and everything has some gift to offer, but sometimes I’m too exhausted to unwrap […]

It appears I am taking a break from writing and instead sharing life balance news and posts found on the interest lately. Instead of resisting, I acknowledge this shift and welcome the possibilities of also becoming an online resource for life balance information. My juicy pens will come back, but for now, here’s the buss from the past week.
