I am wondering where blogging fits in here - is it in "interests"? I am sitting here amidst my own mess. Time to go and do something more important. Exercise and time in the Word. Blessings, adrienne Hi again, Rachel.

I am wondering where blogging fits in here – is it in “interests”?

I am sitting here amidst my own mess. Time to go and do something more important. Exercise and time in the Word.

Blessings,

I need to keep these things priorities too. I don't want to live in a mess, but I need to step back before my children are too big for me to enjoy them. I want to do this. Thank you for posting this. My oldest is 2 and my youngest is 6 mos. Thank you. I need to keep these things priorities too.

Once a week I make my wheel and grab a colored pencil and start shading in from the center out of each pie piece how I think I'm doing in fulfilling this role. I then make a quick list of actions to take to do a better job in that particular area in the upcoming week. As I am shading, I know that each pie piece is not equally important and shade in respect to where I think I should be in that role, not how Miss Perfect would.

Your visual of the pie was really helpful. Sometimes, I feel more has been taken out of my personal pie than was there to begin with. Having this visual reminds me of the areas where I can replenish and renew, as well as the main goal of understanding better how to create balance. Thank you, Rachel!
