How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.-Annie Dillard

I am on a quest that I think I share with many women- a quest for balance between passion and peace, a balance between doing it all and doing nothing at all, a balance between aspirations and satisfaction. I spend so much of my mental energy thinking about what I should be doing... I worry what I should do about the big things like-What should I do about my stagnating career? What should I do to be a better mom, wife, friend, daughter, etc.? What should I do to secure my financial future? But I also obsess about the little things-Should I go to the gym today? Should I buy organic? Should I travel or put money in savings? I constantly lament over the same issues to no avail. However, I know that somewhere in my soul, in the core of my being, I am a wise woman. And I know the answers to all of these questions. I plan to consciously find that inner wisdom and in the process become a quieter, calmer, steadier woman so that I can fully live in each moment of my life.
