Ep 206: What is the Foundation of a Well-Balanced Life?

If I could tell you one thing about balance…the secret, the key to living a well-balanced life, it would be this. 

Today I’m doing something a little different. I’m reading an essay I wrote back in 2015 and re-published in my Substack newsletter. If you prefer to read it (with pictures!), you can do that here.   

What we discussed

  • You can replace or update almost anything in your house, except for your foundation.
  • Foundations are boring but incredibly necessary.
  • The things people see are nice, lovely, and important, but without a good foundation, the whole thing comes crashing down in a storm
  • You only have two foundation choices. Choose wisely.
