Balance

The topic for May is Balance. This theme has been prominent in my life, partly due to the fact that I am born in the Libra sign and partly because of the natural drive that is within me to do more, be more, and give more. More, more more. It seems as though I have fallen into the trap of the consumer mindset where there never seems to be enough; enough adventure, enough satisfaction, enough success, enough impact, enough recognition, enough self-fulfillment, enough self-love.... the list can go on and on. The word BALANCE always gives me a reason to reflect and pause. We live in a world of opposites and contrasts. Without the darkness, we would not experience light. Without black we would not be able to identify white. Opposites provide us with the context to understand the different aspects within us so that we can learn to integrate them and experience a balanced state of being. So this month, I invite you to contemplate what balance means to you.

How balanced are you in the ways you use your intuition and intellect? How natural is it for you to give as compared to receive? Name three ways you can take something off of your 'to do' list this month in order to be in better balance and alignment with what you deeply desire. Please share your comments and perspective.
