		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s this fabulous park a few blocks from my office.
The place also has a little dog park, it is sectioned off but I like to watch them play, burning with my puppy envy.
It&#8217;s been warm and sunny the past few days and the place was overrun during my lunch hour today.  It was glorious, basking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I practice meditation rather poorly. Unless guided in a class, creating mental stillness is not my forte. So when my girl-friend mentioned Gabrielle Roth 5Rhythms class, spouting its fabulousness with enthusiasm, I figured the $20 and two hours was worth its possibilities.

		<description><![CDATA[A long time ago I came to accept that I am idealist. I believe in the way the world could be rather then then what it is. I often look at situations and find that when there&#8217;s something unfitting about it, there&#8217;s almost always a better way for me to manage it.  There doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Recently though, as I struggle to find my place in this writing/blogging world, I find that I am often detered by what others have accomplished.
