These strange times have us seeking companionship in strange ways. In his latest cover, Adrian Tomine, an astute observer of social mores, finds the humor in our increasingly digital search for love. We recently talked to the artist about Zoom lighting, artistic technique, and more.


On Instagram, it looked like I had it all. The loving husband, two kids, a successful blog, and the ex-pat life of dreams in London. But what the glossy photos didn't show was how lost I was. I knew something was missing. I knew I was meant for more. The first step in that discovery journey had to be getting back in control of wine.


"Before signing up, I was hesitant to spend money on joining the group. My line of reasoning was that I could be sober for free, right? Turns out it was worth every penny. Not once during the past three months did I regret investing in myself or in my sobriety. 1000% it was money very well spent."


"I looked forward to the daily videos, journaling, and assignments. Even after completing the first 30 days, I knew I wanted more of the knowledge Christy had to share. I appreciate the open communication and knowing I had a friend in my corner at all times."


"If you want to change your relationship with alcohol, Christy is someone you want to talk to. She provides so much support, guidance, wisdom and love. Christy does not treat you like you are just her client, she treats you like a friend."


I would start thinking about the wine on my way to school pick-up at 4 PM. Perhaps it was one of those days that I had sworn it off when I woke up, or maybe it was one of those days that I had already admitted defeat. It was the ultimate reward for being a mom.


My studio and storefront, Love Life Live Life, is in the Arts and Crafts Community in Gatlinburg, TN. After visiting the Smoky Mountains for most of my life, in 2010 I decided in the haze of youth and naivet, I would move from New York to the mountains, where I could really try to make a living being an artist. I have been a proud member of the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Community since 2010. I thank all my wonderful customers for the opportunity to live my dream. -Kimberly Bylo

Ah, February. The snow is blasting down upon New York as I write this, while my wife and children are still snuggling in bed, excited for yet another snow day. Groundhog Day predicted another 6 weeks of winter. But another holiday is here that can warm any heart: Valentine's Day.


I recently wrote about the importance of being in love with your job. But many people also get too caught up in the careers, and as I learned from the amazing late Senator Frank Lautenberg on an unforgettable plane ride, career highlights won't be on your tombstone- your loved ones' names will be.


Balancing your career with your love life is daunting task, to say the least, but Valentine's Day is as good a time as any to take stock of how you manage both and learn from others on how they do it. I asked people who are squarely focused on their careers - young entrepreneurs - how they balance their careers with their love life. These are the answers I got from members of the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC), followed by my own answer to the question:


I'm an entrepreneur, so my business life is going to be in flux for years. One of the best things you can do for yourself is commit to another person. Marriage teaches you as much as growing a business does. Be committed to both, and the lessons will intermingle and support one another. Plus, you'll need the stability of another person. It's good for the soul.


As an entrepreneur, balance is impossible, but work-life integration is crucial. There will be days you have to work 14 hours or more and others when you can take the day off to do something special with your significant other. If you have to travel for work, take him or her with you, stay a few extra days and make a mini vacation out of it. If they have to travel, go with them and do the same.


I'm still figuring that one out. At the end of the day, though we all strive to leave a legacy through our work, it's no secret that having someone to share your life with is an equally important goal. So, just as you prioritize time in your day for important work-related goals, you have to do the same to create or maintain goals as they pertain to your love life.


When I was building my first startup in my 20s, I did a very poor job balancing my work and personal life. All I did was work on building my company, and I let everything else slide. Now that I'm in my 30s and have a family, that really isn't an option. Now, I religiously adhere to my calendar and to-do list to plan each day and ensure proper balance.


I do my best to carve out time for my love life, but sometimes that time does not always align with the rest of the world's schedule. The best thing I did was find someone who was flexible and didn't need set "together hours" throughout the year.


I have a wonderful spouse and two school-aged children, so balancing my attention as an entrepreneur is very difficult. When I get home at night, I try to devote all my attention to them. I oftentimes sacrifice my sleep to work while they're sleeping. It's not ideal, but it works. You just have to find a comfortable routine and a loving spouse and work it out.


Getting your partner to support you is great, but getting your partner to understand your success and what it means to you is even better. The entrepreneurial lifestyle makes your life hectic enough, but having a partner who understands the impact you are making in the world with your business gives you more confidence and overall confidence in the relationship.


I met my wife-to-be the same summer my cofounders started our company. She watched us succeed, fail and pivot from day one. One commitment we made to each other in the beginning was a weekly date night. It's usually on Fridays, and we try to schedule our calendars around it, rather than vice versa. It helps to always have something special for the two of us on the books.


As a married mother of two, a professor and business owner with a husband working full-time and pursuing a PhD, I know a healthy relationship is possible with three things -- respect, commitment and negotiation. That means enthusiastically supporting the other's goals, scheduling and keeping "together time" religiously and remembering that the other partner's needs must come first at times.


At the end of the day, I'd rather have loving relationships than a career. You can always start a career over or launch a new company. My relationships with my family are the most important thing to me and are the things you don't get to start over.


One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to "be deliberate about spending personal time." I love what I do and get caught up in the passion of running my company. However, I try to schedule time and plan special events so my wife knows she is a focus and that I'm not going to spend time with her in my spare time, but she is a priority.


One of the best takeaways from Brad Feld and Amy Batchelor's book, "Startup Life," is planning communication time. My husband and I have monthly family meetings where we deal with all of the administrative issues like banking, family trips and other to-do items. I keep a running agenda of items to deal with. This frees up our limited time together to have fun and be a couple.


You can't begin to be kind to others until you learn to support yourself. Don't focus on the to-do list -- focus on encouraging yourself. Beginning each day, meeting or call with a smile will be contagious to the rest of your life and lead to strengthened relationships.


My solution isn't for everyone, but I accidentally combined my love life and career by cofounding my company with my wife, Gaby, who was also an entrepreneur. I really hit the jackpot; it's wonderful to be able to share every aspect of my life with her.


When I started out, I was working 24/7 -- either in front of the computer or tethered to a smartphone. Now when I leave the office, I am fully unplugged. While daunting at first, in the past seven years there has never been an issue that could not wait until the next business day. The improvement to your personal life will end up benefiting your work life as well.


1) Overcommunicate. Whether it's phone calls, texts, emails, or tweets, find a way to communicate with your loved ones during the day. Many communications only take a few seconds, so you won't be distracted from your work - but the thought goes a long way.


2) Dinners are sacred. We try to do a family dinner as often as possible - meaning no phones or electronic devices or work or homework at the table - just loved ones paying attention to each other.


3) Keep the phones out of bed. The cell phone has become the tools of choice for most business people- and I get it- there's always something to do or catch up on. But the bedroom is for intimacy. That's why we keep our television out of the bedroom, as well as phones, computers, tablets, and any other electronic devices. There will be time for those in the morning.
