This year, Heather and her husband Terry celebrate 15 years together, and keep themselves busy with balancing time for themselves, careers and two growing daughters. Whe she speaks to groups, Heather emphasizes two things. First, always keep your options open. You may never know what paths lie ahead so take all your courses in math, science and english to prevent doors, and ultimatey options, from being eliminated. Secondly, balance is not automatic but must be sought after constantly.
Balance is dynamic - it comes and it goes.
We do not achieve balance daily but we do ensure we attain balance over the longer term and match it with our personal values.
