		<title>Whidbey Island Fall Minestrone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fall and time for soup. I picked up some beans, squash, kale, onions, garlic and beets this week from the &#8220;Endless Summer&#8221; an off-season order and pick up service put on by several Coupeville area farms. So, I checked with Alice Waters and she had just thing for us&#8211;fall minestrone with kale and butternut [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Place Like Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is 2011, where are the jet-packs? The flying cars? Teleportation? The future is today. If (when?) they do invent teleportation, the first place I&#8217;d beam myself is an easy choice. There is a small po-dunk town south of Houston, where the mosquitoes are progressive and the people are not. That&#8217;s where I would teleport [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Are You? I&#8217;m The One Who Is Here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, Chris and I participated in an intensive weekend birthing class at Big Belly Services in Seattle. The class was based on Birthing from Within. In short, Birthing from Within focuses on labor as a process of self-discovery physically, emotionally and mentally. Rather than trying to avoid pain, this class focused a lot on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family and (My Other Favorite Topic) Food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite being separated from my other half (that is really what it feels like sometimes&#8211;like he’s my other half and without him I’m just incomplete), I am having a wonderful time in Texas. So far, it has been a pretty relaxing trip. I’ve gotten to have lunch with my granddad before he took off for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Year, A New Purpose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s 2010 and I couldn’t happier. Many wonderful things happened in 2009 (married my best friend, and got pregnant) but it was a tough year (step-dad went through cancer treatment, my pay was cut and my hours increased). I’m looking forward to a new year. And though I am optimistic every year, I do feel [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I Learned in My 32nd Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To commemorate my time as a 32 year old, here are few things I learned over the past year. I&#8217;m breaking this down into two categories: skills and concepts. Some things you learn how to do and something you just learn. Skill: The Proper Way to Row a Row Boat (Mostly) [vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/1923546[/vimeo] Skill: Basic Poi [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My step-father, Johnny Ray, has been diagnosed with an unknown primary tumor, possibly above the neck, resulting in metastatic squamous cancer cells in his lymph nodes. It began about three weeks ago, when Johnny Ray went to his primary care doctor about a swollen lymph gland. His doctor referred him to an ear, nose and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talk about Good People</title>

So I&#8217;m here to talk about good people. On The Web Keri Smith &#8212; She always has something interesting to say about living and about art. She makes living [...]]]></description>
