		<title>Nothing that is human is alien to me.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Each of us begins  as a seed with all of the potential of human experience expressed  through the parameters of genetics, environment, and the ineffable  quality of spirit.

		<title>INTUITION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ We wait for an intuitive thought.
Intuition is the ability to experience what is &#8216;right&#8217; with your body rather than with your mind.  It is called &#8216;gut feel&#8217; and when we are at home in our bodies, there is an energetic harmony that is felt in the gut.   It is often thought of as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>THE POWER OF ACCEPTANCE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, a young man who has been like a son to me died of Leukemia.  He was 40 years old.   Until last Friday, I was in denial that he was actually dying.  I told myself (as opposed to listening to myself) that he would beat it like he did the prior two times.  I became [...]]]></description>

		<title>PROCRASTINATION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have not been tending to my little sounding board and the only excuse I can offer is procrastination.  First, I got busy and told myself that “I didn’t have time”.  Then I kind of forgot about it as I took care of all the other stuff.  Then I would think about it, but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Do You Hide?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life can be a scary proposition, especially in uncertain times like these.  There is a Chinese curse that says, &#8220;May you live in interesting times.&#8221;  Well, these times are certainly interesting.  Not knowing what to expect can result in emotional states that run the gamut from slight worry to outright panic.  Financial insecurity can eat [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Weight is Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

		<title>Resentments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, who do you resent; parents, siblings, bosses, teachers, friends, a political party or politician, a government agency?  Who do you give all your power to?  Have you noticed that the persons or organizations that you spend so much time mentally glaring at don’t care? Not even a little bit.  So who’s getting hurt here?  [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s Not Fair!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Still looking for the fair treatment where you get what you think you need or what you want?  Still comparing your experience to others’ experiences and feeling like you aren’t getting a fair shake?  Are you resenting someone, some circumstance, or some organization that interferes with your wishes?  To quote a certain TV therapist, “How’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wishing for a Better Past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How much time do we spend wishing we had a better past, that we had better parents, a better neighborhood, better looks, clothes, stuff, brains, breaks, etc.,  etc., etc.?  To the extent that we spend our lives wishing things had been different we miss what is present in our lives to be appreciated, learned from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loose Knees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday’s Mental Health Tip
Well, the Olympics are over.   If you noticed anything other than the incredible speed and athleticism, you might have noticed how loose their knees were.  Think about it for a minute.
