I am not advocating doing nothing. I am advocating for you to energetically, actively and vigilantly monitor how you are BEING.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest as a young girl, whenever I felt emotionally overwhelmed, I would take a walk in the woods. Being in the stillness and grandeur of trees had always calmed me.

I saw that all aspects of my life had been pulling me out of balance because I hadn't perceived them as part of a "whole," or the totality that was "me."

Being inundated with constant "bad" news from the media doesn't help.

"Balance" as a verb doesn't mean "stillness," but the constant act of making minor corrections from one side to another to bring one towards a center of stability.

Until my Yoga practice became the great facilitator of all things in my life, the integration of career, purpose and motherhood felt like an unattainable dream.

I truly have come to believe that there are only two states of being that generate our thoughts: LOVE or FEAR.
