Besides consuming way too much (amazing) caffeine, and being immersed in the best of Portland #foodporn – I’ve been spending my days working with brilliant writers, hoping that some of their genius might rub off on me.

Oh, and eating donuts. Lots of donuts.

I’m wrapping up my first tiny book on How to find work you REALLY love, without quitting your job and moving to Thailand.

Can’t wait to share.

While roaming the streets, the conversation has been flowing in all sorts of good direction… most recently about this crazy thing we call “balance”.

The trouble with it, the need for it, and the key to it.

So I thought I’d share what we think over at “Whiskey & Work” about balance:

“We believe work and life are not like Yin and Yang. Ethereal cosmic forces that must be kept in perfect balance. It’s more like work is flour, and life is a cake. It’s a key ingredient, but there’s so much more to it. And if your cake is all flour then, well, gross.”

So here’s to finding the perfect mix of ingredients for your life “right now”.

Celebrating when you nail it, and experimenting again next week when it changes.
