When I last checked in I decided that this question of balance would have to be answered in time. It is a thing one must live more than think or plan. Then I came across a quote by Coco Chanel,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I like this ethos. This may very well be the answer. It reminds me of a phrase a friend of mine uses. He calls it \u201cliving out loud\u201d. Others may call it \u201cworking hard and playing hard\u201d. I call it \u201cliving my Vision to its fullest expression\u201d. Perhaps this notion of balance is overrated.
