		<title>Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This month, I've been bombarded by marketing promising to "fix"
my love life. Products to attract a soul mate, products to spice up
a relationship, products to get over a bad one... Quite an array.
Add to that the magazine headlines in the checkout lane, random
conversations with friends and strangers, and so on...

The message "I can fix your problem" sells. It sells products. It
sells magazines. It just plain sells. The problem is that it sells
the problem as well as it sells the solution.]]></description>

		<title>Resolve to Remember Who You Really Are</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was standing in line to pay at the market, I noticed the
display of magazines. Nearly all of them were screaming about the
latest diet, losing weight, getting into a bikini by summer.

A bit later, I realized that I was feeling really lousy. And it
dawned on me that as I mindlessly read those headlines, my
subconscious mind had taken them all as truth. It dutifully
concluded that I was unworthy, not good enough, and unacceptable.

Wow. What an eye opener!

The media would have you believe that you are not good enough, that
you're too fat, too thin, too short, too tall, too smart, too dumb.
Day after day, consciously or unconsciously the message gets
planted in your soul. Soon, with every glance in the mirror, every
step on the scale, you yourself water and fertilize that
fast-growing weed. Until one day you are unable to describe
yourself except as a list of faults.

"I'm a bony klutz with scraggly hair, a big nose, and chicken
legs." Or "I'm short, squat, and have enough spots on my face to be
an honorary dalmatian."

What happened to the kid who was going to rule the world someday?
The boy who drew detailed plans of his amusement park? The girl who
was going to cure the common cold? Where did you go? And, more
importantly, how do you get you back?]]></description>

		<title>Do we deserve happiness?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(This was originally posted on the Universe of Power&#8217;s Discussion forum, in response to a member&#8217;s two part question: what about the overwhelming input we get from everything around us that getting what you want out of life is always hard, time-consuming and a struggle; and, why do any of us deserve to have happiness [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can Astrology Co-exist With Law of Attraction?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Lately there&#8217;s been some discussion about whether outside forces like astrology have an influence on our reality, and if so, how much. Does our &#8220;sign&#8221; dictate what our lives will be? Or can we choose what we want in spite of the stars? Does astrology and other forms of divination contradict our understanding of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Profiting From &#8216;The Secret&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Secret seemed to trigger lots of resentment and anger in some people. It always makes me wonder what is going on there. If it were as inaccurate and unrealistic as they say, why not just dismiss it and move on? But those who are angered by it seem to give it more attention than those who believe in it!]]></description>

		<title>Alignment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alignment is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Several books and seminars have brought up the topic and it started me thinking. It's almost like when we incarnate, our spirit imprints a particular shape on the universe, which is our shape.]]></description>

		<title>Happiness is in the Present Moment</title>

		<title>Gratitude Brings Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does that sound backwards? Does it seem like it ought to be stated that once you are happy you can feel grateful? Sometimes turning our assumptions upside down brings insight and discovery. Gratitude felt before the happiness, before the manifestation of something we want, before the fulfillment of our dreams is a surprising idea, but in the energetic sense it is the most logical thing we can do.]]></description>

		<title>Book Review of The Book of Secrets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are familiar only with Deepak Chopra's books on health and wellness, this one will be a wonderful surprise. It is in some ways the most personal of his books-he was motivated to write it by his experiences during and after the death of his father. We see into some remarkable experiences in his life that give insight into our own.]]></description>
