During the past week I have been in San Diego, Minneapolis, Hancock Michigan and now Bozeman Montana - I feel worn out after all that travel, but invigorated from what I was able to accomplish last week.
I realized a long time ago to stop trying to be ‘balanced’ and just go after life with reckless abandon. We all could be gone tomorrow and need to start living every day like it is our last. Isn’t that they way it is supposed to be? My boss talks about being ‘centered’ vs. ‘balanced’ as I believe balance is impossible. Centered is what I am working on this week. I am so excited on so my many fronts - volleyball season for St. Kates is about to start, Bethel is going really well, and I just love my life.
I could live in San Diego and was reminded of that this past week when I had some meetings there. It is a wonderful climate that is always refreshing and invigorating. I think I was destined to live by the ocean, and in the mountains - it is just part of my DNA. Fairly random posting today, but hey - at least it is something! JVD

I like the idea of being centered rather than balanced. Not heard it put like that before, but that’s helpful.
