A different type of blog

Another blog? Yup. Hasn't everything in the world already been written and posted on the Internet? Probably. So why am I doing this? Because maybe there is someone out there that will be amused or helped by my stories.

The five balls refers to a seminar I attended a couple of years ago. While the seminar was really about dealing with change (in this case work-related), the most compelling segment was around juggling your "balls." The balls are:
- Familial
- Spiritual
- Physical
- Professional
- Social

At any given moment in our lives, we are juggling all of these. Sometimes we miss and drop one of the balls, other times we are juggling so many that we lose track. The key is to not drop the important ones and to consciously slow down the juggling when we are out of control.

So what does that mean for you? It means this blog will cover a lot of different ground! I'll try my best to cover the things that are very familiar to me (training, cooking, restaurants) as well as those things that might not be as familiar but are important.

So stay tuned and please post your feedback!
