It’s mind-boggling that I even have the time to write this blog.
As VP of Sales and Marketing at Canyon Ranch, my day is consumed with meetings, phone calls, approvals, discussions, travel, etc., to help promote our Brand, educate our public and entice guests to vacation here. When I’m not doing that, I am mother, wife, grandmother, friend, community advocate, chef, cheerleader and exercise zealot. Cramming all of those activities into one day is much like trying to squeeze a size 6 foot into the half-size smaller, last gorgeous pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes that go perfect with your new outfit. It may look great and work for awhile, but after a few minutes you’ll likely fall flat on your face.
Most of you working mothers – and fathers – can empathize with the attempt to shoehorn everything we need and want to do into one day, or even one week. If my 26 years at Canyon Ranch has taught me anything, it is the importance of keeping my perspective as I try to maintain balance in my life. Join me on this journey.
Until next time,

Roxanne –
I love this post. I am a jack of all trades with expectations or mastering them all as well. I think we are blessed to have so many passions and desires – choosing which ones we have time for, prioritizing and really finding that balance is a process, a practice. I am a yoga teacher and one of my favorite teachings is for us to remember that we are VAST beings… wide and spacious. Infinite. Breath into that infinity whenever you can.
Namaste,
Jessica
