		<description><![CDATA[When we think of St. Patrick’s Day, one of the first things that comes to mind is luck:
the luck of the Irish
the good fortune in catching a leprechaun
the blessings of St. Patrick
or finding a four leaf clover
Luck – how big a role does it play in your success?
People sometimes look at others who are living [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are a very list oriented culture. We make grocery lists and Christmas lists and household chore lists. I would bet that you have at least one to-do list on the go right now. But there’s one list that people have a tendency to put off that can actually have a dramatic impact on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The holiday season is often a time when budgets get stretched to the max. People run around hunting for this year’s in thing or scratch their heads about what to give Uncle Bob. In the end, most people have difficulty remembering what they gave last year and what they received. In many instances gift giving [...]]]></description>

Well you are not alone. 
Most people go over the top during the holidays – they over-commit, over-consume and overwhelm themselves with expectations.  Instead of feelings of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In honor of American Thanksgiving President Obama has pardoned a 20 kg turkey named Courage.  This light-hearted ritual got me thinking about forgiveness in our own lives.
I&#8217;ll bet there&#8217;s some turkey in your life that you need to pardon.
Someone you&#8217;ve disagreed with
Someone who said or did something that hurt you
Someone who disappointed you
The problem with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I challenged the idea that the recession will result in better work-life balance.
If that is really going to happen, then people will need to start doing some things differently &#8211; not because the economic situation has prodded or forced them to, but because they really want to create a more balanced life.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s an interesting headline:
Recession offers potential for more work-life balance.
That&#8217;s according to a researcher at the University of Iowa based on what happened during the Depression.
His theory is that as people&#8217;s hours are cut at work during the current economic down turn, they will have more time for leisure activities.
Well sure. That makes sense. But [...]]]></description>

That&#8217;s the question the Washington Post was trying to answer when it tried a little experiment. They set up world class musician Joshua Bell in a subway station at rush hour and then sat back to watch whether any one would take notice.

Yesterday a Walmart employee was trampled to death as shoppers broke down the door and stampeded to get holiday bargains. 
What does it mean when people are willing to kill and injure others in order to be the first to grab discounts on stuff?
Okay let&#8217;s acknowledge that economic times are tough and people [...]]]></description>
