I am always searching for balance in my life, both literally and figuratively. Standing on an unstable surface is one of the best ways to heighten your sense of balance.

Over the past decade, more and more employees, most of them women, have turned to job sharing to strike that balance.

Confession: I love playing video games — I especially love them on the Wii because I get to move, jump, and shake myself into a tizzy.
