Balancing act!

I had coffee yesterday with my friend who's an amazing life coach, Melissa Grossman. As our conversation ran from one thing to another, we settled on the topic of balance - always an issue in our multi-tasking lives. "People forget that balance doesn't have to mean 50/50," she said. Boy is that the truth! People who say every thing is equally important in their lives, scare me! How can that be?

Anybody who's lived long enough will agree, I think, that sometimes balance is 80/20. Sometimes it may be 60/40, or 30/20/50 or even 20/10/30/50.... you do the numbers! If you picture a scale, I know that some days I have a watermelon on one side and about 10 bunches of grapes on the other. Balanced? Yes, but every day can be different.

How does your life balance? How do you make your numbers work? Add it all up, and what's the total weight of your life right now? If you don't like the way the scale looks, eat a few grapes and watch it change!
