		<description><![CDATA[The phrase &#8220;to thine own self be true&#8221; has grown to have more and more meaning for me lately. I am quickly learning not to apologize for following my own heart and doing what is best for ME.
Believe it or not, I think this is a fairly hard concept for people to grasp. I&#8217;ve said [...]]]></description>

I was even that lucky passenger who ended up with the screaming child who kicked the back of my seat the entire flight. I figured I dare not complain, because it&#8217;ll be my luck it&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard an article yesterday that a college in Massachusetts is now accepting YouTube videos of students applying for admission.
An excerpt from the story:
&#8220;We&#8217;re not judging it on the qualities of the production values,&#8221; says  Lee Coffin, dean of admissions at Tufts. &#8220;We&#8217;re not looking for  Oscar-winning short films.  What we&#8217;re really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lent. The period of time between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. The 40 days of preparation for Jesus&#8217;s resurrection.
I&#8217;ve been amazed by how many people are participating in &#8220;giving something up for Lent&#8221; this year, and it&#8217;s really made me feel good and hopeful. It&#8217;s been several years since I seriously gave something up for [...]]]></description>

Be nice.
No, seriously. Be nice. Your predecessor, 2009? Talk about your evil woman! I say good riddance to her. Don&#8217;t let the champagne cork hit you when you go.
I should be fair and admit 2009 had its good aspects. One of which was my laying the groundwork for the future professionally. And within that, [...]]]></description>

It was a frustrating beginning to the day, when a bid to get some much needed funds to cover a few bills hit a brick wall. We attempted to sell a couple of my husband&#8217;s old keyboards to [...]]]></description>

I got laid off last Thursday. Two weeks before Christmas. TWO WEEKS! Now how do you tell a 7-year-old Santa lost his job before [...]]]></description>

Family
I have the most awesome family. Ever.
My husband is wonderful. I seriously married my best friend. We regularly joke, &#8220;Its just too bad we never have any fun together&#8221; as we&#8217;re doubled over with laughter as we crack each other up. Or if there is something wrong, we [...]]]></description>
