This entry is called "Balance" and there has been so much talk lately about there being no such thing as balance and I believe balance is real and achievable, it just doesn't always feel or look like what we might think. It's not often a perfect smooth blend of all aspects of your life, it's a constant battle and effort as well as a pull and push with surrender and will.

Themes:

Doing too much. . .I could write a whole book on this one, and I am betting many of you could as well.

Creating content. . .for REAL, the kind you are born to create.

New levels require new strategy AND new MO. Strategy gets all the glory and the cool points, but it's the execution and the MO that gets it done and gets you there. We cannot elevate to greater by doing the same.

Being about my Father's business this is so much bigger than our perceived balances or imbalances, bigger than what's in front of us. For me, my dreams are God given and making them a reality is my duty, it requires my faith and it's why I'm here.

Onward!!Thank you for rocking with me on this episode of Queen Shh, and for being a part of my tribe.

Part of being a Queen is fulfilling your God given destiny. It is imperative that we trust ourselves and carry out the vision God gave us, with courage and an unapologetic urgency and grace. #Again

- When you look back on the past year, do you feel you achieved a healthy balance overall (work/life, family/self, social/stillness, joy/peace, urgent/slow).

- What feels out of balance? Why have you prioritized your time the way you did this year? This life?

- What can you commit to that will make you (JUST YOU NO ONE ELSE) feel more in balance? Will you?
