“Many children grow through adolescence with no ripples whatever and land smoothly and predictably in the adult world with both feet on the ground. Some who have stumbled and bumbled through childhood suddenly burst into bloom. Most shake, steady themselves, zigzag, fight, retreat, pick up, take new bearings, and finally find their own true balance.” WorldChildrenFightingGrowsFeetLandChildhoodBalancePicksAdultsShakesSteadyAdolescenceRetreatRippleFeet On The Ground Author:Stella Chess

“Finding balance in life is perhaps the greatest challenge of this generation, especially for women. I've decided that I need to compartmentalize my life better. From the time my kids get home until after dinner, I put my phone away. If I pick it up, my kids call me on it, and I have to put money in the "phone jar." When the phone jar gets full, the kids can spend the money on fun family outings, like going to a movie or going to their favorite restaurant. This unplugged time has helped me to be more mindful and give them my full attention.” IfsNeedsGivingHomeKidsLife IsFunChallengesAttentionGenerationsBalanceFindingsPicksDecidedPhonesDinnerRestaurantsCall MeJarsThis GenerationLife BalanceFun Family Author:Dayna Devon

“Everything I pick up seems to lure me away. Everything I do in my daily life begins to feel like striking wet matches. The need to travel is a mysterious force. A desire to 'go' runs through me equally with an intense desire to 'stay' at home. An equal and opposite thermodynamic principle. When I travel, I think of home and what it means. At home I'm dreaming of catching trains at night in the gray light of Old Europe, or pushing open shutters to see Florence awaken. The balance just slightly tips in the direction of the airport.” ThinkingNeedsFeelsMeanHomeDreamLightSeemsRunningDesireNightForcePrinciplesBalanceEqualPicksEuropeOppositesTrainIntenseMysteriousPushingDaily LifeGrayWetAirportsCatchingLureStay At HomeShuttersFlorence Author:Frances Mayes
