  2. I’m in! I just want to clarify. I write a post on Life Balance (obviously) and I post it anytime on my blog between now and October 26 CST, linking back to this post. Just let me know I’ve got it right and I’m all over this. Thinking cap is already on!

  4. I just drafted a post on life balance yesterday – not posted yet, it will definitely be up before your deadline. I look forward to participating!

  8. @Magical Maya – I hope you find the time to participate. I encourage you to do what is in your best interest.

  9. @Bright Wendi – The world can always use another Life Balance post out in the blogosphere. I’m looking forward to reading your contribution to this project.

    @Instinctive Urban Panther – Yeah and Yes! You got the “rules” correct. I hope you have fun writing the post.

    @Energized Avani-Mehta – I am also excited to hear what the blogosphere has to say about Life Balance.

    @Awesome Stacey Shipman – I’m looking forward to reading your contributing post.

    @Dazzling Davina – Yes! This is going to be very Yummy. 🙂

    @Strong Vered – No worries. No worries.

  10. Great idea Stacey. Stumbled.

    Will think about what I could have to say about life balance – it’s not one of my strong suits to be honest. Particularly feeling this way as right now I am swamped with work and other commitments and my 4 year old is going through a particularly narcissistic, demanding stage and completely doing my head in! I feel anythign but balanced.

    But I’ll throw the idea into my creative toaster and see if anything spits out. Be in touch.

    Kel 🙂

  11. What a wonderful idea, Stacey! I’m a bit swamped with some projects, but I’ll try to work on it this weekend.

  12. Count me in Stacey! Hmmm…now I need to start thinking…

    Lances last blog post..Regrets

  14. very interesting! I believe this is a nice site to have a balance interaction with other bloggers! You may count me, Stacey!

  19. @Moving Kelly – Just writing about life balance not being one of your strong suits can result in an uplifting post.

    @Fantastic BC – I hope you find time to participate.

    @Inspiring Lance – Can’t wait to hear what you have to say.

    @Remarkable Flora – Welcome! Thanks for participating.

    @Harmonizing Mike – Welcome to CreateaBalance.com! To participate in the project the post needs to be new and linked backed to this announcement page. Thanks for sharing your June ’08 post about life balance.

    @Giving J.D. – I’m looking forward to the results too. Hope you are able to participate.

    @Caring Eclectic Life – Welcome! Thanks for the link love and for contributing to this project.

    @Energized Dave Jones – Yeah! Thanks for participating.

  23. Great idea, Stacey. So many of my posts are about balance without using the word. Should be fun to just twist an idea to suit your/our purposes. Balance and Purpose!

  24. state of balance in real life is impossible to attain…Biblically or scientifically, there will always be less or more of something! But Stacey`s project is worthy endeavor! By recognizing that i lack of many things in life is a good wake up call for me or for others who may not be pretentious to claim that they have the best thing in this life! Let us do it Stacey!!!

  28. I’d like to be in but I think my life is out of wack right now. I’ll just wait for the e-book to come out.

  29. @Magnetizing Evelyn – Let me know if you come up with something. I’d love to hear your perspective.

    @Clever Kid de Moll – Balance and Purpose. I love that. I’m looking forward to reading your twist on the subject.

    @Thoughtful Karlito – Thank you for sharing your analysis of “state of balance”. I think “state of balance” can mean different things to different people and the depth of that meaning also crosses a large spectrum. At a high level, my definition of balance stems from balancing the needs of my inner authentic self with the needs of all of the other things that demand my time, attention, and energy. I don’t think it’s about attaining a state of balance because I don’t believe life balance is a destination (or something you attain). I think it’s a process and a journey to honor your authentic self, your needs, and your passions. I hope you contribute to this project and I look forward to reading more about your perspective on this topic.

    @Radiant Robin – Thanks!

    @Soaring Chris – Sometimes the most inspiring stories about life balance (and about life in general) come from people who are experiences life “out of wack”. I understand if you prefer to wait for the ebook, but I also encourage you to share your “out of wack” perspective. Your “out of wack” story has the ability to uplift people throughout the world.

  31. Hi Stacey. That’s a good list of contributors. Two more weeks and we’ll celebrate in our collaborative efforts. Thanks for this opportunity to play in the sandbox!

    Davinas last blog post..Thanks, It Means The World To Me

  32. Okay Stacey, I will contribute something like a “Striving for Life Balance” post or “I’m Crap at Life Balance” post. Maybe I’ll reassure some other moms that there are lots of unsure, over-wrought and perfectionist life jugglers out there.

    Kelly 🙂

  34. I’m in Stacey! And my post is done!

  36. Stacey

    Many of my comments in the blogasphere got lost or sent to spam folders for some reason. Did you see that I decided I’ll take your advice and do my version of a Life Balance post?

    Hopefully this comment gets through.

    Kelly

  37. @Ambitious Kelly – Yeah! I can’t wait to read your post. Millions of moms will be able to relate to your words (including me)!

  40. Hi Stacy, someone just sent me an email about your project and I am excited. I write about life and balance regularly and it is something we all work on. Now I am trying to balance my passion for politics and consciousness which at times seems like opposite ends of the spectrum.

    I will be writing a blog soon about Balancing Life and let you know. Did you know Weds. is Blog Action Day and it is about bloggers doing something positive about poverty. There’s a symbol at my blog to find out more.

    I love your idea and your blog is awesome.
