She makes me feel like she's just another mom, like me . . . even if she did write a cookbook,
publish her love story, and appear on all the morning shows.
If you read her blog, you can see she's pulling back a little lately on her schedule.
She mentioned (on this post) a new upcoming opportunity and then added:
And most of all, it’s something fun I can do without ever leaving [home].
And I’ve learned that the more I apply that filter to the things I want to do,
the more my life tends to stay in balance.
And balance, I’ve learned firsthand, is a beautiful, wonderful thing.
There's something very centering about being there.
And not even just "being there" physically.
But "being there" emotionally.
Heart, soul, body and mind.
FABULOUS post!! yes, yes, YES! I so agree...so so cool to hear her thoughts. (I saw on FB that it's her own cooking show on Food Network?)
