I just turned 37 and the thirties are especially challenging in the balance department. American women are pulled in a million directions by careers, media pressure, family and personal desires. Empty and tapped, we struggle to pull it all back together with a smile. So a year ago, I committed to finding balance in my relatively crazy life. I haven't quite mastered it, but I am getting closer. Everyday, I walk the line between...
- being a good mother and wanting me time
- the desire to stay home and nest and feeling like a contributor to my family's bottom line
- aging gracefully and fighting it every step of the way
- doing what I love and doing what pays the bills
- the media's expectations of me and my own expectations
- eating what I love and eating what I should
- emotional, financial and physical dependence on my husband and my need to be independent
- the scale today and where I wish the scale was
- doing the right thing and doing the easy thing
