Yes. Thank you.

As a spiritual woman and mother of two who has been growing her worklife alongside her kids, the last 13 years has seemed like one long juggling lesson.  The path of caring for all my beloveds while tending to my individual needs has generated a constant awareness of balance.  

The practice of balance involves tangible issues like who is taking my son to baseball practice while my daughter has hip hop (and somewhere in here we need to eat dinner, go grocery shopping and walk the dog!) to introspection about how I can cultivate peace in the midst of this full life.  Balance is a foundational part of practical spirituality for me.

Because balance has been so big for me, when I visited Grace over at The Wild Pomegranate  and read Balance I was surprised to realize I haven’t been contemplating balance lately.  Instead, I’ve been focusing on integration.   In a comment to Grace, I wondered about a conversation between balance and integration.  Grace often inspires me and this time her direct encouragement  sparked something in me.  It has felt big all week.

So, Grace, I am saying yes to a conversation between integration and balance.  I’m not sure where it will go from here but I’d like to begin by saying thank you for noticing.  Thank you, Grace.

Here’s to the learning from each other in the blogesphere.
