Have you ever struggled with feelings of guilt?

Life'sdemands can often feel overwhelming, like a tidal wave that leaves us fightingto stay afloat. I, too, find myself in the midst of this chaotic sea, wheretwenty-four hours in a day often feel like just a drop in the ocean. Finding balanceamidst the chaos is not easy, and I'm sure many of you can relate to thisfeeling.

Asan author, blogger, mother, and wife, I feel like there isn't enough time toaccomplish everything I need to do. Sometimes, I have to let thingsgo—important tasks as well as fun activities.

Then,the guilt sets in like a heavy fog. I feel guilty that in order to take care ofresponsibilities or work on my next book, I pass up opportunities to spendquality time with my family or enjoy moments with my friends.

Ioften wonder if I’m the only one who feels this way. If you’re reading this,you might be nodding your head in agreement, recognizing a shared experience.It's comforting to know that we're not alone in this struggle.
