Work–life in your hands

Posted on 03. Feb, 2012 by Susan Wright.

Over the years I’ve read and experienced first-hand the challenges of so called work-life balance. I’ll be the first to say – balance is bunk, as I prefer to aim for work-life harmony. Nature works in harmony not necessarily in balance. We don’t mechanically dump aspects of our life and work on a scale and [...]

Is your head in the sand?

Yesterday I came across two articles about work-life and the continual demands on time, energy, and effort. What I found somewhat discouraging, yet not surprising, is the 40 per cent that don’t employ strategies to manage their life and work.  I wanted to reach in and grab those 40 per cent and say: “I get [...]

Four years ago today my youngest child was born. That day brought new life along with change, growth, and challenge. As a mother and business owner, I juggled conversations with clients among feedings, family life, and sleepless nights; but all with a resolve to stay in the game and keep moving forward with life, business [...]

Moving into 2012

Feeling rather sluggish after a few late nights indulging in good food, conversation, and holiday cheer, I grabbed my workout mat and began doing Pilates. Within minutes I could feel my head clearing and body recharged. It doesn’t take a lot of time and effort to feel better: what it does take, is a positive [...]

Holiday time…

During the last-minute rush to get food and gifts, and wrap up work projects I have momentary relief knowing that the days to follow are about connecting and sharing time together.  After all, what is a holiday unless we have truly connected with ourselves and those we love? It doesn’t matter what your tradition or [...]

Health: responsibility and action.

I have no voice – well a faint scratchy one. December arrived with snow and so did a virus that has invaded some obscure region of my respiratory tract countering my ability to speak. Rather ironic after I spent a few hours outlining a talk to present in the New Year. Oh well, a good [...]

Resistance made me stronger…

Strong headwinds slowed me down but somehow the resistance made me stronger. It’s November 25th in the northern hemisphere where typical temperatures are five degrees Celsius, but today there’s a balmy gulf wind that has doubled that temperature. The headwinds that I ran into today, sent me an important message about this year and possibly [...]

Many of us in our early stages of development sat on the floor playing with blocks & stacking rings. Over time the towers grew taller and more sophisticated; and yet, there was great pleasure in knocking them down and starting all over again. This action tells us something about our capacity for creativity, development, and [...]

Personal dial of choice

In my last post, I wrote about creating the change you want to see. Coincidentally this past week, I was given opportunities to learn more about this myself, and so please allow me to indulge. I don’t know about you, but often I find it challenging to visualize or know what that change is or [...]

Between now and then

What are you doing now to create the change you want to see? My neighbour was busy a few afternoons in early September digging up weeds and just two weeks ago laid new soil and grass seed. Well, the combination of hard work, hot sunny days, and rainy nights have given rise to a spring-like [...]
