Is Your Life Out of Balance?

Have you ever heard of a “life coach”?  Among other things, a life coach is someone who gets paid to provide private coaching to people who are trying to achieve balance in their lives.  The areas of life in which balance is ordinarily sought include spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, social and financial (not necessarily in that order).
