		<title>Forgiveness&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like to think that I am a fairly forgiving human being. I don&#8217;t feel it&#8217;s ever a healthy thing to hold on to past grudges and bitterness. I have tried to live a good life and be a good person, though I am sure I fell short on many occasions. I worry about how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mothers In Need</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How well do we understand how our fellow person is coping with their life? Are we available for a conversation? Do we go out of our way to ask? It&#8217;s a very simple thing to do. Just start with, &#8220;how are you doing lately?&#8221; Your compassion and concern may be all that person needs to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Things Should Never Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was watching a family play together and the mother was reassuring her little boy that someday he too will learn to ride a bike. It was obvious that he took great comfort in his mothers words. Seeing that family play and interact together reminded me of my years as a young [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Family Time&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wrote a little book about my daycare life for 25 years and shared some recipes that I cooked for scores of children and of course my own family too. I talked about the importance of bringing the family back to the table and having those old fashioned family meals again. My oldest daycare child [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Hollywood Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope you &#8220;REAL&#8221; single moms out there are not comparing yourselves to those celebrity single mothers. I certainly think it is wonderful that so many women feel their biological clock ticking away, and want to adopt their own &#8220;little bundle.&#8221; These &#8220;Hollywood Moms&#8221; have the money, the perfect housing situation, all the groceries they [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Life of a Single Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What if this journey as a single mom was to prove to you, that your life ahead will be greater than you can imagine? Perhaps one day, all the worry and fretting will finally subside. If you must take one more step through this day, make it a giant leap! There is no money and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Parents Winter Blues</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am thinking of rainy days from when I was a young mother taking care of all my children. One rainy day in the house (due to the weather) often led to two, three and so on. It was never the cold days, just the rainy ones that kept us all inside. Even on cold [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Christmas Wish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If I could give anything this Christmas Season, it would be a gift of &#8220;Remembrance.&#8221; Thinking of times gone by, and special milestones that have shaped who we are as a person today. Reflecting on shared wisdom from parents, mine, now gone, or my grandmother&#8217;s advice from long ago. Remembering the sacrifices so many others [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Forest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes we get so busy we lose track of ourselves. We coach, we mentor, we solve others problems, we volunteer for the less fortunate, we pass on sage advice, we speculate our family&#8217;s future, and we just get side tracked. It can seem overwhelming to sort out what comes first, people, things, stuff or myself? [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meddle, or Middle?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a mother and mother in law, I am finding myself treading this path very carefully. Of course I love my own children very much, and I have great faith in their choices and their way of parenting. I also love my daughter and son in law too. Sometimes though, it can be very difficult, [...]]]></description>
