Balance

The word of the day is balance. 

For those of you who have read Eat Pray Love, you should know what I'm talking about. In the book, this woman leaves everything she has behind in search of balance. A balance between the physical world and the spiritual aspect of life. I finished reading the book last night and was so saddened that it ended. 

Usually, I power through books--especially if I enjoy them but this book took me much longer than usual to finish it. However, I feel it was best for me. I found a lot of things in that book that helped me personally at different times when I really needed to hear them but didn't want to listen to other people. I have always had this great desire to travel and find myself but am just too freaking poor! 

So, I lived vicariously through Elizabeth Gilbert. That being said, I also had to return to reality. And reality brought me a big fat bowl of "figure yourself out, Chelsea" for breakfast. So far today, I have seen 3 books that talk about balancing yourself and 2 of my professors discussed balance and it's importance in the here and now and in the eternities. I feel like this is my flashing sign of a hint from Heavenly Father that I need to figure some things out

I'm always on top of these things. ]

 And I couldn't agree more. The only thing is how. Everyday I take a step closer to thinking I have things figured out but we all know that is a BIG FAT LIE.
So, I am working on balancing things. Church, school, work, dating, and everything between.  Hopefully I get things figured out soon. I know, I know. Becoming completely balanced for my life is completely out of the question. It's part of the learning process. But, I can learn how to get my life back in balance whenever I feel like it's out of whack. That's the goal anyway. If anyone has suggestions, please do tell! I am pretty much up for anything that will help. First things first, matching shoes in the morning.
