Thoughts on Balancing Life & the Law
It took me over 40 years to learn the meaning of life. Family. A loving, caring, joyous, supportive family, that is. A family that often encompasses our dearest and closest friends. For years I thought that my happiness would be realized through a career in academia, and then as a counselor. I've done both in varying degrees. I've enjoyed aspects of both and I've loathed aspects of both, but I never found the contentment which I sought. Little did I know that I had projected my wish for happiness onto careers that, while perhaps gratifying in many ways, were incapable of giving me true happiness. And I've learned that more than a few lawyers share my experience.
