They say if you live a balanced life, you will feel calm, grounded, clear-headed, and motivated.&#13;
Since I&amp;amp;rsquo;m none of those things, I guess I have some work to do to become more balanced in my life.&#13;
Let&amp;amp;rsquo;s go to you first Cristie, what was it life, what happened and what is it like today?&#13;

What does a balanced life mean to you today?&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
balancing physical, spiritual, and psychological&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
exercise, prayer, think about relationships (therapy)&#13;
