		<description><![CDATA[The following poem was a life-saver to me when I was in a really black hole. There is a tremendous amount of power, wisdom and hope in its words. Power, wisdom and hope that became the light at the end of the tunnel when there seemed to be no other. At the moment I, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At first look this question is lightweight. It isn&#8217;t the transformative powerhouse that, has effectively had me floundering, meditating, pondering and writing for over a week. Danielle LaPorte is sheer dynamite. At a time where I am floundering to figure out who I am, again, she was the perfect find online; a default, distant, online mentor of sorts. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a post sitting in my WordPress drafts folder waiting to be posted. Courage isn&#8217;t something I lack. I have never been afraid to speak my mind. But something holds me back. My irreverence. I firmly believe that our experiences as women may be vastly different, but that there are ineffable webs that connect us. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the days roll on, I am lucky enough to witness my toddler create his sense of self. He has begun using sentences with &#8216;me&#8217; and &#8216;mine&#8217;. He also refuses help and asserts his opinions with the all too annoying &#8220;No!&#8221; and &#8220;Yuck!&#8221;. Despite its infancy, his self-esteem seems imperviable. I wonder how long it will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I firmly believe that it takes a village to raise a child. In a ‘village’ children grow up at the feet of elders, learning vital lessons. Adults in a ‘village’ mentor and teach adolescents, instructing them in the skills and knowledge that they will need to contribute to the village in adulthood. Sadly I feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The music building to a crescendo. Thousands of hands meeting in unison. The clapping creating a deep bass drum rhythm that somehow links us all. The same is possible with dance. With celebration. With mourning. Solidarity These are the great levelers of the human experience. In these experiences we can forego our personal identity and feel at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love music. Pretty much all music. Well most, anyway. (Rap and death metal being two exceptions). My music collection spans the Crooners of the 1940&#8242;s to current pop stylings of Pink. I love rock and punk, folk and even some country. You&#8217;ll often hear my radio tuned to jazz, but acoustic rock and gospel are probably the two [...]]]></description>

Not because my worries are terrible, horrifying or gruesome, but because in my worries I underestimate myself. As a teenager, and even in my early 20&#8242;s my greatest fear wasn&#8217;t losing my job, being physically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So many people, not just young people, are thwarted by their desire to &#8216;do good&#8217; in the world. At the heart of the matter is the concept that in order to have a positive impact on the world they must be important, well known, powerful and highly influential. The belief often goes that in order [...]]]></description>

You too are flawed and you too are worth admiring. One of the greatest influences in my life is just under 4 feet tall. Yet more than once [...]]]></description>

In fact in a job I had a few years ago the whole team was personality tested. I got 25 out of 25 [...]]]></description>
