Like many, I'd like to do it all, but I can't so I take time to determine what the priorities are and where I'll invest my limited time, energy, and dollars.
The same priorities land on top including family, home, teaching well, and positive pursuits related to nature, art, writing, research, and politics.
The center comes from choosing a good routine to nurture those priorities in ways that matter while also recognizing that some valued places and people will stand at a distance due to those limitations. We can't do it all.
