I like to think that part of the key to the balance is staying in tune with the 'inner child' and I believe that and other aspects of our road along life, potholes and all, can truly inspire our writing.<br />With respect and kind wishes, Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-90929742488321132812012-01-16T22:06:18.495-05:002012-01-16T22:06:18.495-05:00Thanks everyone!Thanks everyone!D.

And it's always so pleasing when other people see us as we would like to see ourselves but never do. Thanks for sharing, Jean.

I know it was for me. I started by just taking six deep inhalations and exhalations. Envision the inhalation going down through my body to the center of the earth and the exhalation up into the universe. For years,each day that's all I did to meditate. It only takes a few minutes but is a great practice.<br /><Mary Jo Guglielmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044407102808262871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-91982882624263480042012-01-16T15:35:18.839-05:002012-01-16T15:35:18.839-05:00Very well put Jean.

I think it's important to remind ourselves how 'well rounded' we are sometimes when the juggling gets overwhelming and we aren't doing enough writing or achieving the kind of balance we want. I know that sometimes I hold my own rope too tightly and don't give myself the same kind of leeway I'd give anyone else.Magdalena Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182314078304734996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-43318438114973754232012-01-16T14:21:14.461-05:002012-01-16T14:21:14.461-05:00What a lovely reminder, Jean.

I can definitely relate to that, though now I'm much more balanced than I used to be, ever since I started practicing meditation last October. It has had a profound effect on the way I approach writing, too.<br /><br />Best,<br />Mayra CalvaniMayra Calvanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444333264952371471noreply@blogger.com
