To ward off the temptations of caloric food at every turn, battle fatigue from the road, and the impersonality of hotel rooms, never underestimate the power of bringing along a few things of valor and meaning from home. 

When I'm away from the safety net of my daily routine, I need the buttresses of balance more than ever. For me it's getting enough sleep (hence the mask), music that's either soothing, uplifting, or energizing, thanks to a fully loaded I-Pod; and a comforting book...even it I only have time to look at the cover, it's a help.

Balance, I Love You...and I never want it to end...
