Welcome to Balancing Acts, a new column by Lisa King. Lisa says: As professional women in the DC metro area, we are all faced with the challenge of fulfilling multiple roles at work and at home. Balancing our own personal and professional needs along with the expectations of coworkers, significant others, friends, and family requires constant juggling and reassessment. Both my own experience and questions I’ve been asked form the basis of these musings. If you have suggestions for future columns, comments, critiques, please e-mail me at lisa@dcwebwomen.org.
