		<title>How to be at the top of your game when you feel overwhelmed!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not so easy these days, is it? Information overload, natural disasters, a precarious economy, the natural process of aging &#8230; and those are just the big ones!  On top of the daily challenges of living, it&#8217;s no surprise that many of us live with a level of fear and anxiety that at times feels [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building a Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some perspectives on investing financially in your new business, and how long to keep your day job.

		<title>A Little Bit of Grace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back in London for the summer. I am on a tight budget, because I&#8217;m rebuilding my business after my Mom&#8217;s death, and am not willing to generate credit card or other debt.  I am in boot-strap mode! So, when I was planning my trip, I sent out a series of emails to people I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Courage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What do you consider to be courageous action? I&#8217;ve heard a number of people talk about courage, and not understood what they meant. Recently I asked, and was told that – for instance – sharing deeply personal information in front of a group of peers is courageous. It seems to me that such a choice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Grief</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I woke up this morning from a dream calling out for my mom, in tears from missing her. Is it because I had a conversation at a party last night with two other women whose mothers are now going through what mine went through with dementia, specifically Alzheimers? Or because the second anniversary of her [...]]]></description>

		<title>Listening for the Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Leaders listen for the future of their organization&#8221; &#8211; and I would add, of their world. I came across this quote in a book I&#8217;m reading, called &#8220;The Three Laws of Performance&#8221;, by Zaffron and Logan.  The quote resonated with me, because when I was in my 40s and trying to decide what I wanted [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Sustainability &#8211; What I’m finding in London</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These days, we tend to talk about sustainability in terms of the environment, global warming, corporate responsibility. I think we need to talk about it on both a broader and a more personal level. We are all citizens of the world.  Whether we like it or not, want it or not, we are on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farewell, Frankie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A week ago last Saturday, May 2, was my friend Frankie&#8217;s funeral in Harlem. Frankie was a dancer.  But not just any dancer – Frankie was a key architect of the Lindy Hop.  You&#8217;ve probably heard of it as swing or Jitterbug, but if so you&#8217;ve only heard a small and inaccurate part of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holding Back – Not, No More, Nyet!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traveling has always been a source of juice for me, creativity, new energy.   That&#8217;s why I decided to take the summer to go back to the UK, go visit a friend in Greece, maybe go to France and/or Italy and/or Spain&#8230; I&#8217;m now considering buying a round-the-world ticket and going to Australia and Africa, too!
