What is the meaning of live-work balance (really)? Some would define it as a 9-5 job and a 5-midnight life. Some would say it's early retirement and financial freedom. Buddhists would say it's freeing your mind of its chains: freedom from emotional and material attachments. I'd say that if I could work for fun and live a happy and fulfilling life connecting, inspiring and helping others grow, while feeling connected, inspired and helped out in my life, that that could be considered my life in balance. Next steps? One foot in front of the other.
Keep on keepin' on.

When violence and injustice become normalized, it takes profound awareness,
not reactivity, to stay awake.
