		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a fan of the New Year&#8217;s Resolution ritual.  I find it unsavory practice to form intentions on cue as if it were as unquestionable a necessity as drinking water.  I admit I have an exaggerated distaste for a potentially positive practice.  But my experience with resolutions repeatedly demonstrates a set-up for failure.  Thus, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the Tooth Fairy hadn&#8217;t fallen asleep before doing her job, a certain 10 year old might have continued to believe in fairies, Santa, and a candy-delivering bunny.  As it were, the whole lot was exposed at once.  The tragic reveal went something like this:   Daughter: &#8220;Mom, the Tooth Fairy didn&#8217;t come!&#8221; &#60;sniffle&#62; Mom: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When my daughter was little and I was having a moment of frustration, she asked me candidly, &#8220;Mom, do you like being a Mother?  Because sometimes it seems like you don&#8217;t.&#8221;  I was crushed.  I&#8217;ve never forgotten her worried eyes staring up at me. Motherhood can be draining.  It can be thankless and difficult and confusing.  [...]]]></description>

There are many benefits to holding an &#8216;Attidue of Gratitude.&#8217;  When we concentrate on what we&#8217;re grateful for rather than what&#8217;s troubling us, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night my family and I arrived home from a long weekend away and were greeted by a disaster.  A water pipe had burst, destroying an entire section of the house.  Compared to the current devastation in Haiti from an earthquake, our losses are barely worth mentioning.  However, there are common lessons to be learned from [...]]]></description>
