Balance

  • A state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc.
  • Mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgment, etc.
Ah, everything in moderation, right? Well, right, actually. Keeping a cool head as a matter of course and maintaining an even operational keel go a long way toward living a strong, happy life. Following are excellent examples of what can happen when one area, tendency, behavior, or relationship goes top-heavy on the others ~ and what it took for people to correct (where they could…).

Jan 2012: Back from Hiatus

She's alive! Al-ive!

Back from a seriously scary health relapse in mid-October and returning to action. Kudos to my patient friends and colleagues, you're the best. New programs and more unrolling this year, here's to 2012!

First up, as you've noticed, is the site redesign (please forgive any wonky links, I'm on it). Full content will be returned in coming days, with some neat new features in pre-production.
