Pati Pakulis - There's just something about a cool breeze that puts things in perspective...
Karen (Mikols) Bonar - GIRL! AMEN! But I have a bone to pick with Arizona ... I was there for about 24 hours and it was COLD AND RAINY AND BBBRRRR WINDY. I'm told I need to find a better part of the state! ;)
Heather Corporan - I pray that God would impart balance to you in your life. I think sometimes His way of doing that/or anything for this matter, is by first showing you how things are NOT meant to be, so that when he gives you such a gift in life you can truly be thankful for it. Like patience. My mom always tells me to stop praying for patience, because in order for God to impart that in my life, trials must come first to teach me how to have said patience. And Lord knows how true that is. I pray that balance is on it's way to your life : ]
Leah Godfredson - Thanks for the reminder to stop and smell the breeze. I'm moving to AZ soon and now I'm sorry that I missed it.

Amanda Mays - Awesome post melissa, thanks for sharing with us. A lot of us can totally relate, balance within all different kinds of lives is hard to find.
Love that you took the time to reflect and have time with god. It is a blessing when we are able to recognize our blessings and be thankful for them, not everyone can or will. I wish you many more cool breezes!
Dixie is so freaking cute!
Taryn Bills - Words to live by.... Thanks for sharing a life lesson that we small business owners need to be reminded of constantly!!
jamie delaine - love this post!! yes, stop working so hard--i know what you mean though, we were just talking about that last week during skyping, right? when you're home alone, you just WORK because there's nothing else to do! i'm going to make you have some chill time when i come there in a few weeks. which by the way... i am coming in a few weeks. ;)
erin - Amen. Thanks for sharing this Melissa. It really helped me today.
Tira J - Oh my friend! Thank you for being so transparent! We are all guilty of not enjoying the cool breeze. Just as I finished reading this post, David walked into the office and said he was going to go outside and enjoy the breeze here in So Cal and watch the kitties in the back yard. Hint? Slow Down! Listen to our AWESOME GOD! And I think our pets are great reminders that there is more to life than our cameras and monitors that keep us away from the breeze. Love ya!
Sarah Wellmeier - Really wish I could find balance:) Between my two kids, husband and my new business.....I have not found balnace yet. Thank goodness I have a family that understands!! Thanks for sharing Melissa!!
