		<description><![CDATA[As we continue to enhance, improve and uplift ourselves, it seems to me that an integral part is missing from this process; namely, how we relate to our masculine selves in particular, and the men whom we encounter in general.  Especially within the professional arena where masculine traits, particularly as they pertain to management are encouraged and celebrated, the feminine is either minimized or downright ignored. 

Yet it is our feminine edge that when embraced and understood, provides our ‘edge’ within the marketplace and beyond.

		<description><![CDATA[Why in God’s name would I want to spend my time volunteering at a prison facility one might (understandably) argue. My response to this is that until and unless we understand the underbelly of any society, we’re unable to heal it and progress.  Some of our greatest minds are behind bars for one reason or another. No one in their right mind has an ambition of going to prison but once there, time is all you have.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another key point to being with ourselves and our emotions is to sweat the small stuff. That seemingly insignificant, no-big-deal, thing that incessantly annoys us when left un-attended, eventually balloons into a lethal, uncontrollable time-bomb. 

Can you identify one tiny thing in your life that you’ve repeatedly dismissed? Can you remember the first time this little thing happened? How did you feel?  As you recall this incident, observe the where in your body is registering this feeling. Is your heart pounding, is your belly "flip-flopping", do your legs feel wobbly? Or are you feeling dizzy or nauseous?]]></description>
