Balance can be elusive at times in life, I am working on finding balance now that I am in a community. It’s challenging, juggling, and keeping space for just me time, filling up my own cup, so I can continue to share with others.

Sometimes in life you have to be unbalanced to be balanced, sounds strange. I was spending lots of time on my own for the past 3 months, the shift of being around others, connection, lots of activities as a group, is challenging in that I have to re-find my balance.

The dance between, not to much solo time, and not to much connection, activities, and remembering stillness is important too. Resting and recharging is also part of the equation of balance. Sometimes not being balanced aids in the understanding of how to recreate it in my current environment, going with the flow and honoring myself and what I need.

God is always part of that balanced equation, prayers to start my day, and prayers to end my day, always giving thanks throughout living my day as well. God is always there, helping me to remember, it’s okay when life gets unbalanced, God will help guide me back to where I need to be.

That means sometimes I am not balanced at all, but that’s life, redirection, understanding, and practice in recreating balance over and over again. Learning I am still human, working on creating a life of balance, that’s a never ending journey, as life ebbs and flows, different elements constantly being added and subtracted.
