The Intention of Simplifying

“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 […]

The Painter Emerges

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, […]

Succulent Wild Writers Group

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 […]

Juicy Pens Thirsty Paper

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 […]

The Spotlight is on Life Balance

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 […]

The Guest House

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 […]

Life Balance Buzz

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.

Monday’s Meditation

Since returning from the Kripalu Yoga and Health Center, I have been trying to incorporate meditation into my hectic life style. I have decided to take baby steps to meditate 3 minutes a day. It’s actually amazing what 3 minutes of meditation can do for someone who plays so many roles in one day (mommy, full-time employee, wife, chef, maid, butler, […]

Life Balance Report - May 2008

Many famous Make Money Online blogs, such as JohnChow.com and BloggerExperiment.com, post monthly income reports on their blogs. Inspired by this idea, I have decided to post monthly life balance reports onto CreateaBalance.com. I have been trying to determine the best way to quantify my life balance success and decided, for now, that it will […]

This is How I Dare

SARK asks women everywhere how we dare to be creatively fulfilled and successful? Her answer is “Because you have wonders inside that must be let loose, that is how you dare.”
This website is how I dare to live my creative dream each and every day. I accept that my dream and this blog will have […]
