Like Jenn, I love the photo! Very nice.

And it is obvious to me by looking at the pictures that you have your priorities straight. In my opinion, Facebook and Twitter are fine in small doses. But a little bit goes a long way. I know I would choose horseback riding over Twitter!

Basically, my attitude is to just focus on what brings the most happiness and fulfillment in a given moment. And it seems like this is exactly what you did.

I found I had to let a lot of networking go to honor my values.. and time prioritization.. now I am down to two emails, fb, one main blog and that’s all
*I let go of twitter, and linkedn and other experimental ones after I knew it wasn’t working for me.. also myspace, and old emails and old blogspots which served their season well. lol.. really, I did clean house though! it felt great!
“sometimes being out of balance with the world, is just what we need to find the beautiful well and create reserves within.” and to come out refreshed and leave an impact back on the world with what they are missing out on ! it seems to me you are doing just that and this is so lovely!
Plus, I’d go easy on yourself.. because
I think it takes awhile to find our rhythm and just enough outlets but not too much by letting go of what doesn’t “until it feels just right!” …

I think it is more important to feel centered and to do fun things like you shared in the photo above, it speaks of substance and LIFE!
btw, I love the olive tree and the LOVE sign photo

I’d rather use the online if it is a community tool other than a status quo. hugs to you today! ~Jenn

Don’t worry, I am always failing at Twitter. In fact, I think I’ve given up on it completely. It looks like you’ve got a good excuse to skipping out though I find myself never wanting to go on the computer after work and therefore I am slacking in many departments when it comes to social networking and my blog. You keep doing what you’re doing and I’m pretty sure you will have no regrets!

I also must say how much I love your scrabble pieces and flowers. Such a fun idea

I loved everything about this post and truthfully cannot add a damn thing to it. (So why am I commenting?) Maybe I just want to say how happy I am for you and this “unbalanced” balance you’ve laid hold of and claim to. Bravo you, Tess. Bravo, you! And thank you for sharing this joy with us.

Will definitely look forward to the more posts and pictures so tantalizingly promised.

And you’re right! I always get a smile and good mood when I visit this blog.

These are beautiful pictures and text! What can I say except: I am glad that you have these moments, Tess! I wish you to have more of them than anything else!

Wow! Where do I make time for all that blogging requires? Good question!

I keep myself on a pretty full schedule every day. I wake up the same time evry day, work approximately the same amount of hours and get home pretty close to the same time. Once home I eat by a certain time. After eating I will do blogging stuff for about an hour or so. Then I work out and then back to blogging stuff until close to bed time. That is my typical M-F schedule. Also, during the day, any time I get a few minutes, I’ll hit the computer and do some things too.

Doing it all does require a lot of time, but I still love it. Like you, I love my family deeply and value time with them above all else. I think this is absolutely essential for a happy life. Without family and their love, the rest of it doesnt matter.

Frankly, I wouldn’t worry about Twitter and Facebook. Much better to get out there and live life. We only get one of those so we need to make the most of it!

Hmmm… I think I might make a trip to the city gardens very soon. I’m hankering for some real world contact.
