MaryAnn Diorio
MaryAnn Diorio writes award-winning fiction from a quaint small town in New Jersey where neighbors still stop to chat while walking their dogs, families and friends still gather on wide, wrap-around porches, and the charming downtown still finds kids licking lollipops and old married folks holding hands. A Jersey girl at heart, MaryAnn loves Jersey diners, Jersey tomatoes, and the Jersey shore. You can learn more about her and her writing at maryanndiorio.com.

About the Author

Introduction
This book is the result of personal experience and of many hours of coaching people from all walks of life. As a Certified Life Coach, I am on the cutting edge of the challenges people, particularly Christians, face in their daily lives. One of the most common of these challenges is the problem of stress produced and induced by a life out of balance.
We are living in a society in which more and more people are racing to nowhere, only to discover, sometimes too late, that they have lived their lives in vain. It is my personal belief that God has designed each human being for and with a unique life purpose. Discovering and implementing that purpose is crucial to living a balanced life.
I pray that this book will provide you with practical and proven steps to help you overcome imbalance in your own life. As you read through it, I encourage you to think carefully about what you are reading and about how you can apply it to your own life.
Now, may the God of all peace fill you with wisdom and grace as you begin your journey from the treadmill to the balance beam!
