As a Libra, I am always in search of balance but find I can be my own worst enemy, swinging wilding on the scales first one then another and then wondering why things are askew! I love that photo and would have it framed along with the poem you wrote overlaid on it.

(of course that's what I've been saying about everyone's words, haha) Because even possibilities need balance. Being creatives, I think balance is something we all lack a bit, don't ya think? There are so many things I like to do, and many that I do well, and sometimes (a lot) I get sidetracked...sometimes to the point that I don't ever see my ideas come to fuition...I'm a daydreamer...I like the process of thinking things through. I think that it why I chose possibilities, sometimes I forget there are possibilities through all the daydreaming. I never bring them into reality.Kim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-78742918212940876392013-01-14T09:17:49.184-06:002013-01-14T09:17:49.184-06:00Your stream of consciousness poem is amazing! Very...Your stream of consciousness poem is amazing! Very beautifully written and words that I can completely relate to. Oh, how I struggle with many of the same thoughts, questions and hopes.<br /><br />Balance is a great word. Everyone needs balance in their life but not everyone recognizes it or is able to achieve it. Not only are we kindred spirits in gift wrapping but also in the things that affect acquiring balance in our creative life. I am reading your words and it is as though they are telling my story! It is comforting to know that we are not alone!<br /><br />Flourish & Thrive Academy does sound fantastic. I hope to someday participate but need to spend this year on focus and direction so that I can take the next step!<br /><br />Best wishes on finding balance in 2013!Kathleen Lange Klikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161796067079143054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-144530270551564552.post-18966166096108820032013-01-14T07:34:30.978-06:002013-01-14T07:34:30.978-06:00Erin, I'm right there with you, everything see...Erin, I'm right there with you, everything seems to be spinning out of control and that the more I try to grasps at things the farther away they spin!
