Life can be stressful and we all want a manual to figure out how to balance it all. Valerie Roman has created that manual for us.
While Valerie Roman was advancing her career and raising a family, she never lost her balance. A dedicated sports fan, she won betting pools at the office, became a walking encyclopedia of sports trivia, and taught her sons to throw their hats on the ice when a hockey player scored a hat trick—three goals in one game. She emerged from a thirty-year stretch as a tech director to enjoy a fulfilling retirement of travel and politics.
How did she manage to balance it all? Along the way, she consulted magazines, newspapers, books, websites, and blogs, saving any article that would help her do the job of today’s woman a little better—how to organize computer files, how to make cookies from cake mix, and how to find time for exercise and family excursions. She decided to collect these files in one place, creating an almanac of problems and solutions for busy career women who want to find balance between family and professional life, while not losing sight of their own personal well-being, both physical and emotional.
