		<description><![CDATA[So, when Cecily wrote me the other day asking me to write a post on the difference between what makes me happy now compared to when I was younger, I jumped at it.  What better way to fend off the predictable, depression and annual idenitity crisis of the &#8220;who am I, where have I been, where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Renewed. Inspired. Driven to action. My attendance at the BlogHer conference this weekend gave me alot to process.  First of all, the connection, laughter and conversations I had with close friends I don&#8217;t see NEARLY enough was enough to make the conference for me.  But, add the Change Agents sessions, and the Closing Keynote Address: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many days, more than I care to admit, I spend clawing at the walls.  I claw the walls looking for answers, for hope to what ails us all. I claw the walls in disbelief, in anger, in worry. I claw the walls fighting, searching for something besides the groundhog day, the endless cycle [...]]]></description>

But if I were to talk about the happiness that I create for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been listening to this song ALOT (I mean ALOT) lately. I love the message, love the inspiration, and desperately need to cling to something in these trying times.  It puts an instant smile on my face, makes me realize to let go, take a breath, live open, live authentic.   Today, I send this message [...]]]></description>
