		<title>If only more women like these were in charge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like how the lead story on the front page of today&#8217;s New York Times seemed to be about the financial crisis in Europe, but was really about friendship. Christine Lagarde from France, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, and Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, have a BFF relationship. They text each other often [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which we replace &#8220;abnormal&#8221; with &#8220;extraordinary&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the years I&#8217;ve read and listened to my fair share of material about &#8220;calling.&#8221;  The late James Hillman&#8217;s The Soul&#8217;s Code: In Search of Character and Calling is the only book I&#8217;ve ever read that has helped me making sense of  it (Hillman was a famous Jungian analyst and died a few weeks ago).

		<title>30 Day Song Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did the 30 Day Song Challenge on Facebook the past 30 days and thought I&#8217;d post them all in one post here. It was a fun challenge, but I now feel like taking a 30 day break from Facebook. Here&#8217;s the list: Day 1 &#8211; &#8220;Your favorite song.&#8221; The 1st movement of the Elgar [...]]]></description>

		<title>La-Di-Frickin-Da</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time to bring back the La-Di-Frickin-Da. Below is a ten second clip of the late comedian Chris Farley saying &#8220;La-Di-Frickin-Da&#8221; in his inimitable way while performing as the Matt Foley character on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s: Image of Well La-Di-Freakin-Da! It would be fun to put that as my voice mail [...]]]></description>

		<title>The cure for loneliness is solitude</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While flipping through my notebook the other day I came across the notes I took last March in St. Paul, MN at the workshop with James Hollis, PhD, Jungian analyst. Below are the notes from one of the pages and I couldn&#8217;t help but think how each sentence could be a book or workshop topic [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which we take a dandelion break and remember the 1980s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The 1980s was a bipolar decade for me, as I attended high school (the worst of times) and college (the best of times) in the 1980s. I recently discovered the newly-released five volume set of Bloom County: The Complete Collection and checked out a few volumes from the library. The Bloom County comic strip originally ran from [...]]]></description>

		<title>A tour of the taverns, praise temples, and double-wide trailers of the white working poor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re ready for a tour of the &#8220;great beery, NASCAR loving, church-going, gun-owning America that has never set foot in a Starbucks,&#8221; and learn why they tend to vote for rich Republicans, then I urge you to read Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America&#8217;s Class War by Joe Bageant. Even if you&#8217;re not [...]]]></description>

		<title>There&#8217;s a party in your heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I discovered Death Cab For Cutie&#8217;s new song You Are A Tourist this morning and have been listening to it repeatedly while working on a writing project. When I first heard the line, &#8220;there&#8217;s a burning in your heart,&#8221; I thought it was, &#8220;there&#8217;s a party in your heart.&#8221; Our parakeet Shirley sings wildly while [...]]]></description>

		<title>The pit crew of wounded healers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do physicians have in common with NASCAR racers? What are the 3 essential skills today&#8217;s doctors need that don&#8217;t have anything to do with medicine? Read this from the New Yorker and find out. Why is the Republican party no longer a comfortable fit for many doctors? Why do many doctors now support health insurance [...]]]></description>

		<title>In which The Who&#8217;s &#8216;Who Are You&#8217; lyrics come to mind (yep, I&#8217;m reading more Susan Howatch)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We know so little about even those who are closest to us. We know so litle of what really goes on in other people&#8217;s lives.&#8221; &#8211; Ginerva in Wheel of Fortune by Susan Howatch I went on the other day about Susan Howatch&#8217;s Starbridge series of novels, but should also mention that she wrote many [...]]]></description>
