Susan L. Taylor Quotes

A 'harmonized' life these days sounds like a tall order. Between housework, homework, workwork, and busywork, there are perpetually too many things to do, and not enough time to find that mythical balance.

Everybody who knows me is like, 'Dude, you've got to chill out.' I can't not work, given where I want to be.

I think I've been on a path ever since I was born, a path of high stress. I put myself, my career, it was a big old juicy carrot right in front of me for all of my life.
