The monthly newsletters serve as a reminder of the need to maintain balance...

"I must say that LZ has been an unexpectedly priceless gem. We (professionals) often take for granted in this busy world what LZ strives to give us in balance. Each month, the newsletters serve as a reminder for me of the need to maintain balance by offering tips for becoming more organized, communicating in difficult business situations or just how to take time for self in the course of a busy day. Did I mention the number of resources the LZ offers that are local and often community-conscious? I have been able to participate in at least one of the meet-ups and had a wonderful time. The meet-up allowed for a diverse group of professionals to network and yes, even unwind. The venue gave many of us an opportunity to visit a location on our long list of places to go. I am thankful that Patrice allowed her vision to come to fruition because it has truly been an invaluable tool in my life."

LZ keeps me connected to the social scene and is an amazing website...

"Being a Graduate student keeps me busy writing papers, reading research articles and without a social life. In the mist of hectic days, I take a study break to keep up with LZ, which has become a weekly routine for me. On that rare occasion when I take my head out of the books, I can always reference LZ for interesting reading and ways to enjoy the city. LZ keeps me connected to the social scene and is an amazing website. I also wanted to thank you for the restaurant recommendation for my birthday dinner. Red Canary was just as you described it with cool décor and delicious drinks. The dining experience was great. My girls and I have already planned another dinner at Red Canary."

"I've had the pleasure of attending an LZ Meet-up at Epic Sky. There, I had the opportunity to network with like-minded, young business professionals and entrepreneurs. I definitely recommend anyone looking for an experience and atmosphere where you can relax, have a good time and and escape the daily grind to attend one of her meet-ups."

One must learn to balance work and play to truly enjoy life abundantly...

"I had a great experience at the LZ Meet-up I attended. People generally work hard and don't play or they play now and work later in life. Either path is a receipe for disaster. One must learn to balance work and play to truly enjoy life abundantly. Lifestyle Zen provides just that. I look forward to your upcoming events!"
