At the beginning of my career, one of my longtime mentors taught me that work-life balance is not attainable. Something will inevitably always be throwing us out of that golden concept of balance and in the process of chasing balance we only further exhaust ourselves.

Instead, we should seek work-life harmony.

This photo by the very talented Gretchen Powers captures the essence of that mentality.

After some failed attempts our schedules finally aligned and we had planned a shoot for 4:15. It just so happened to be a perfect weather day. Instead of wasting daylight I wore my cycling gear under my blazer and we did the shoot at the trailhead. We were in the saddle and chasing sunset by 4:30.
