		<description><![CDATA[This was a difficult post to write and to share, yet as ashamed as I am at its content, I need to confess &#8211; apparently in a long and disjointed fashion. I could write books on why I&#8217;m not a good person. Let&#8217;s just start with one chapter for now, though, shall we? Let me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately, I&#8217;ve been full of introspection &#8211; more so than usual. As I manage to do from time to time (as The World&#8217;s Worst Buddhist,) I&#8217;ve been paying more attention to His Holiness the Dalai Lama when he pops into my periphery. He epitomizes so much I want to be in my life, yet short [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m turning forty this year. With this realization have come many others, including &#8220;why do I continue emotionally raging at my body?&#8221;  It is the shape it is likely to be, without a great deal of variation, for the remainder of my years. For me, being thin means hard work; I have to work out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of the women whose blogs I read are mothers, and as such, they often talk about their child-rearing methodologies, frustrations and the little details of Life With Kids. One term I see come up somewhat frequently is &#8220;self-soothing,&#8221; and today that hitched itself to another theme I&#8217;ve been seeing with remarkable frequency these last [...]]]></description>

There seems to be quite a groundswelling of people who have Had It with the thousands of tedious details which ostensibly comprise being a part of modern life. I&#8217;m one of them.

What do you do when you need to make yourself feel special and pampered? No matter how quirky or commonplace, greedy or selfless, I would really like to hear [...]]]></description>

No hard feelings, no tears shed, moving on. With the winter solstice now safely behind us, with the sun clawing less frenetically toward the [...]]]></description>

Huge bathtubs, steaming jacuzzis, hot springs all make my body and soul go &#8220;aaaahhhhh.&#8221; The tub may be the only place I know how to really, really relax, in truth. Despite my guilt over the volume of water I&#8217;m using in doing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Mindfulness&#8221; has long been a word around which I arrange my life to the best extent I can. It encompasses so much of what I aspire to, and if more of us lived mindfully, the world would assuredly be a kinder, gentler, less hostile place. I found this wonderful post on Bloom today, in which [...]]]></description>
