Dublin-Granville Road Colu mbus OH 43235 DESCRIPTION:The Women's Business Network is back with our first luncheon of the year featuring Lori Wengerd\, Owner and President of Home Care Assist ance\, as she talks about leading and living a balanced life. "Living a Ba lanced Life" Having balance in your life does not mean finding a way to do it all. (Most of us have already tried that and failed) Instead\, Lori wi ll talk about developing a "rule of life" that will ensure you attend to w hat's most important for your professional\, physical\, personal\, and spi ritual needs. Living a balanced life is not a static program but a dynamic process of being attuned to your needs\, desires\, and responsibilities\, then having a mindset for addressing them — one day a time. ABOUT OUR S PEAKER: Lori Wengerd is the president and owner of Home Care Assistance — the premier provider of in-home care for seniors that she founded in 2 009 to optimize the well-being of seniors and bring wellbeing\, assisted i ndependence\, and joy to this phase of life.
