The WNET affiliate chapter G.R.O.W. (Growth and Resource Opportunities for Women) recently welcomed State Farm employee and published author Laurie Larsen for a conversation and book signing at the Glen Mills Annex.  As a full time employee, wife, and mother, Laurie, who works in Corporate, has had two works published: Whispers of the Heart and Momentary Lapse and is currently looking to publish a third.

Laurie offered these suggestions for maintaining a healthy Work/Life balance: set priorities (evaluate each new request), play to your strengths (do a good job at your career), stick to it (nothing happens overnight), be flexible (willing to shift priorities as needed), face reality (be ok with rejection), and celebrate along the way (small achievements matter).  She also answered questions about her writing career and signed copies of her latest novel.
