		<title>The truth that drives you&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No one&#8217;s here and I fall into myself. This truth drives me
Driving home from a long weekend of condo repairs and tenant wrangling, this lyric from an Evanescence song hit me in the gut.  HARD.
The truth that drives me, if I&#8217;m honest, is that it all rests on my head.  If I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m still growing.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It happened in a vinyasa flow hot yoga class - ironically while doing tree pose.  I stretched, sweated and it came to me.  I am still growing.
It does not yet appear what I shall be.  I&#8217;m 33, happy and successful but yesterday does not define me.  This is me saying I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ello Luv</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back from my journey across the pond.  I picked up many sayings and lots of local knowledge.  Mostly, I was reminded that sometimes you have to travel really far to find yourself.  My first words were &#8220;Ello Luv&#8221; with a British accent.  I wasn&#8217;t super campy as an infant.

		<title>Bangers n Mash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time for my great escape, a little bit of laughter and a lot  adventure in the Uk &#038; Scotland for the next two weeks.  I want to will be unplugged.  It&#8217;s funny how that idea gives me comfort and anxiety.  My inner control freak is convinced the world will not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lord of the land</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well technically it is a condo - so I&#8217;m lord of the walls but only interior and not so much actual dirt.  Nevertheless it&#8217;s mine and it&#8217;s hard to rent because people won&#8217;t love it like I do.  This weekend it was time to clean house - shoo out the old tenants, ready [...]]]></description>

		<title>Powerful Intentions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christine Kane has one of those blog that I happen upon every now and then when, just when I need it.  Today I&#8217;m taking her 10-steps to powerful intentions and answering the call write here in front of you.
1. Decide who you want to BE.
I&#8217;m a take-no-prisoners kind of achiever.  While this has taken me [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Place Like Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, I bought Mate a key chain of an anchor and had it inscribed &#8220;may you always find your way home&#8221;.  Now I&#8217;m wishing I&#8217;d ordered one for myself.  Mostly because I&#8217;m dying to know what key would be attached to it.  I&#8217;m a bit of a potted plant - wondering whether [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Humpty Dumpty problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a head in search of heart.  Maybe it&#8217;s the other way around.  I&#8217;ve been disconnected so long it&#8217;s hard to tell.  I could really use a glue stick.  Or maybe some crazy glue.  Oh who are we kidding this is an epoxy or JB weld size problem. 
I keep living one foot in and one [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Smooch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hesitate. Lean in.  Pull Back.  Contact. Press together.  Seperate. Swoon.  Repeat.
That first kiss mimics the beginning of a new relationship.  It&#8217;s a dance, playing with the distance between the two of you, measuring speed, softness, and response of another to the taste of you.  If there&#8217;s no swoon, there&#8217;s usually no repeat.  When it happens though, it can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Relationship Autopsies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much to the chagrin of my friends and loved ones.  I&#8217;ve been spending time with Mate.  Together we are sort of unpacking things.  It&#8217;s not nice and clean and perfect.  There&#8217;s still some messy emotion on both of our parts and tears happen here and there.  There&#8217;s love.  We are not getting back together.
Last night [...]]]></description>
