		<title>Resistance&#8230;It Is Always There!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who is trying to make a major change in their life or do something they have always wanted to do knows the force of resistance they will meet head on when they try. We make deadlines we hope we can meet, and then struggle to meet them. It is as if there is a [...]]]></description>

		<title>God Honors Baby Steps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am thrilled and continually amazed at how God is always working in our lives, behind the scenes, making plans for us when we are ready to turn situations over to him. It is like seeing a row of lined up dominoes start falling. Because someone took the time to line them up, it only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everyday Is A New Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn&#8217;t it amazing how we actually can start life over every new day if we want? Looking backwards we can&#8217;t change a thing, but looking forward&#8230;..endless possibilities!
A very close friend and I both picked up a book this week that had to do with doing one new thing a day, to move yourself closer to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mind Your Own Business, Or Someone Else Might</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny, but I was with a loved one who is deep into twelve steps last weekend, and it got me noticing how often we are so focused on minding someone else&#8217;s business, we forget to work on the one person whose life and character  we could effectively change.
It is such a habit, however, that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Is Hallmark So Far Behind?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why isn&#8217;t there a &#8220;So sorry to hear you&#8217;ve lost your home&#8221; or &#8220;Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you try to find a new job in this economy.&#8221; Somehow a regular sympathy card just doesn&#8217;t do it. 
And where are the occasions to mark these losses. Should we have a firepit gathering [...]]]></description>

		<title>Show Up For Someone Else&#8217;s Life!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am really noticing the effects of what I call &#8220;show up love&#8221; in my own life lately. I have recently been through a series (eleven to be exact, but who&#8217;s counting?) of fairly severe losses in my life, all within an eighteen month period. Now only one of these involved the death of  a [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Life Feels Like Slow Motion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I feel like life is in slow motion, but normally that is when bad things are happening and I can&#8217;t seem to get the gears to switch into forward mode again, no matter how hard I try, I just feel stalled. Positive things seem to go so fast&#8230;I am always re-living them, going &#8220;gee, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Importance of An Apology</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is true, we are to forgive and then try to forget things we perceive as wounds to our psyche. They are personal, and often not intended by the person who said them in the way that they were received. I find email and texting particularly prone to misinterpretation. Partly because there is not only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Birthdays&#8230;and other things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, I almost forget about them. Sometimes they forget about me. But mostly, they are meant to be acknowledged and celebrated.  Often they only mean we have survived another year. If that has been a difficult one, as this has been for me, it may feel even more important to acknowledge that, with God&#8217;s grace, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Romancing The Stone?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forget about that! I just spent four days fighting the pain of what I didn&#8217;t know was a kidney stone. Ouch! The last time I went to the hospital in that much pain I came home with a 10lb son!
The emergency room was no different than I remembered it, fast tracked into a room for [...]]]></description>
