Georgia,
The most important distinction you point out is how important it is to find balance in the roles we all have in life.  I make a slight change to this belief by replacing the work balance with integrated. Balance implies some sort of "equalness" which in today's world is incredibly difficult to reach.  Instead, we must find ways to integrate all our roles in our lives, accepting that one role may dominate, BUT creating and recreating the discipline to ensure no one role dominates.
As you so accurately and describe the downfalls of not having balance or an integrated life.

Also, I loved reading the traps of compartmentalizing roles. Spot on Georgia!

This is an important message for all of us to hear and to know what our response is to it.

Nicely done,
Shawn
