Thanks for the feedback Henneke. You’re right. Those were good corrections you pointed out.
I really admire the posts in Rebelle Society blog. Wow, if I could just write like that I would retire in bliss. (Then I’d get bored and write some more).
The posts I’ve selected for my next assignment is:

F*ck balance, try alignment – the beauty of Disequilibrium
I’m at the end of my rope. I can’t keep all the balls in the air. I am overwhelmed and under-satisfied. How do I keep the love turned on with my partner while managing children and a home-based business and my creative passions? How do I find balance?
Sort answer: You don’t.
Long Answer: Sugar, you really absolutely, positively don’t.
In fact, the quest for this ever-elusive equilibrium is pure crazy making.
Balance is a fallacy. A giant conspiracy designed to make us all feel like we’re continuously fucking up and falling short. It sells yoga videos and meditation retreats and time saving kitchen devices. We download productivity apps and make to-do lists and buy things that plug into our electrical outlets to make us feel like we live in the midst of an artificially scented rainforest. Serenity now. Please…

Short Sentence. And the intro paints a stunning picture. I’m always committing to more than what I can do. I’ve ashamedly been there, done that.

Ah! I feel so reassured.

Yup, I feel empathised and reassured.
But here’s the real truth.
Here comes the transition.
I don’t the think the opening para has a promise. But that is the Rebelle Society writing style. The readers are used to it and know a solution (or closure) is coming without a promise. Or maybe I missed it.
