Balance is something we all struggle to define. Most of my adult life was spent devoted to work, raising children, being a wife, a daughter, a mother…but finding the balance between all of the important and fulfilling components of my life was never easy for me. Now that I have been forced into and early retirement, I’ve had my “aha moment”…balance was always within my grasp! For me, a breast cancer diagnosis, surgery, and chemotherapy forced me to stop and reevaluate what mattered most in my life. It took some major adjustments in my life, my lifestyle, my work, and a decision to move to the woods. While most people don’t need such a dramatic wake-up call, for me it was a lifesaving chain of events.
I love living simply…tapping into the creativity that was always within, and sharing some tidbits of information I’ve learned on my journey back to health and a balanced life. I also enjoy reminiscing about days gone by and how our grandmothers and great-grandmothers achieved balance and fulfillment in their daily lives.
Life is meant to be lived every moment of every day. I challenge you to find your own balance in life, learn to breathe again, and celebrate the small joys that each day brings your way. Live long and live well!
