Weather and Winnipeg

Yes, yes, the glorious weather we've had in Chicago all week, it was the summer we should have had. What has weather got to do with work life balance you might ask? It made me stop and smell the proverbial roses...time to truly enjoy nature as I sat in the park with my dog, Brat in his li'l red wagon (he can't walk anymore), read a book, watched kids at play, people walking their dogs, sunbathers, bikers, joggers, skaters and just was as the Buddhists say, "in the moment...fully present...fully alive." Try it, you might like it:-)

As for Winnipeg, I spoke to a group that came to Chicago this Friday and being with all these wonderful couples on their retreat only solidified the value of relationships, any kind of relationship and how important they are in balancing our lives. People need people...right, Barbra?
