I was just looking at seed catalogs last night....almost time to plant the peas! I'm not sure if I'll stick with this one, but the word that jumps out to me is *balance*. Inner, outer, for me, for the kids, for our family life. I think it sums up so much of what I'm working on right now. Love this post and the word.
