After discussing the concept that “balance is not about learning to effectively give pieces of yourself to important things, it’s about knowing and becoming all of yourself and then giving your whole, abundant self to everything and everyone your life is assigned to,” we shared examples of how pieces of ourselves.” We discussed individual moments that we have felt “balance” as the author described it. It was fun creating vision boards for 2023 for ourselves after discussing how we can reach more balance in our lives.

It affects all populations: adults, children, men, women, foreign nationals and U.S. citizens, and all economic classes. This is a key time for us all as individuals to educate ourselves
