Today a client called me a “missionary of balance.”  There it is in a nut shell.  It’s true I spend a great deal of time trying to persuade others about a particular set of principles that have helped me bring balance to my life as a business owner and mother.\n\nThis past weekend is an example of me living by those principles I so frequently preach. The weekend was filled with laughter and fun as three of my life-long friends came for a visit.  The weekend was perfect in every way.  As they departed and said their good-byes, we felt tired from lack of sleep, yet energized by each other.\n\nTime spent away from responsibilities and the pressure of getting things done is good for the soul.  Too often people don’t take this time for themselves and to nurture the friendships in their lives.  Spending time away from family and loved ones can help give you the energy and the fresh perspective to be the best person you can be at work and at home.\n\n
