Welcome to Our Journey to Balance - a motivational blog offering life
affirming content to balance our body, mind and spirit.
____________________ Our Journey to Balance’s Mission is to inspire
conscious transformation by changing the negative and unproductive
patterns to which we have grown accustomed. Readers are presented with
practical solutions to our crazy, overly-busy, stressed lives. Our
Journey to Balance aims to debunk the myth of what it means to live a
‘balanced life’ by suggesting that we flow with life, living in
tune with the natural rhythms of nature. The point is not to balance
all of our responsibilities at one time, but to focus our attention on
what matters most at different times or seasons in our lives. This new
understanding will help readers let go of misplaced priorities and
relieve their overbooked lifestyle. Our Journey to Balance hopes to
encourage those walking their personal path to balance - those seeking
to improve all aspects of their lives - those who believe there is
something more to daily living than what they are currently doing -
those who want to embrace a new paradigm in order to accomplish more
of what matters most in life. ____________________ Readers can expect
personal essays, adages, aphorisms, original poetry as well as tips
and research backed articles from a variety of sources gathered
elsewhere on the web. ___________________ Highlighted posts feature
topics including but not limited to: Healthy Living & Nutrition, Home
& Family, Common Sense Spirituality & Collective Consciousness,
Happiness, Success, and Inspired Self Development. ___________________
About the Writer … My name is Maritza Alvarez. I am an empowered
woman, wife and mother. I am also a research journalist, human rights
activist, political scientist and writer. I was raised Havana, Cuba. I
am far from that life now, but growing up in that culture, with those
beliefs and distinct ideology did provide a unique perspective. The
regimented life, a stifled voice and political struggle, have given me
an expansive and grounded view of the human condition, our propensity
for human frailty as well as our resilience in the face of adversity.
The ocean, inflexible and at times impertinent, has kept me grounded
while developing an appreciation for the ability to see for miles,
soaked in a grand vision that promises to deliver our potential. The
choices I’ve made along the way, have caused my life to unfold in
both expected and unexpected ways. As a matter of courtesy, I offer
you here, a glimpse of my educational and professional journey, since
my days as a “pionera.” ______________________ • Graduated with
