How It All Started

Hi, my name is Valerie Garner. This site is a natural outflow of a journey I find myself on at this stage of life; I invite you to join me. I have found myself totally burnt out from a good paying corporate job, along with the heavy hours that goes along with it and feeling like I didn't have a good handle on the whole work life balance issue. Yet, I saw no stopping or slowing down anywhere on the horizon. I was feeling as though my schedule dictated my life, instead of me dictating my schedule. It was like time was going faster and the demands and to-do lists were growing at an equally steady pace. I felt as though life was happening to me and I had no choices anymore, but what I was craving was a sense of deep rest, comfort and peace and balance. A slowing down to smell the roses, so to speak.

Something's got to give here; I knew I needed to make some changes before something very serious happened. I knew I didn't want to live like this and I needed to take better care of myself. I have beautiful grandchildren (and children of course) I long to spend lots of time with, to offer to them a break from the frenzy of life when at our house, and to be a good example to them in their lives.

I was at a major crossroads in life, wondering, "what do I really want?" How do I want to live? How does reality fit into the picture, after all, the bills still go on and need to be paid? How do I balance work and life?

This website is a resource tool dedicated to finding articles, and ideas, which may lead to a more comfortable, balanced life. I see people all around me who also seem to feel this way and resonate with similar desires to slow down and enjoy life more, with those they love. When I say comfortable life, I don't necessarily mean wealthy, as I don't think they mean one and the same. Financial strain is a huge source of stress; therefore there are lots of ideas on this site for possibly raising your income level and/or reducing debt. Finances also have a strong tie to how much time you have available and the resources to do the things you want.
