		<title>No Pain No Gain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
When it comes to working out, the adage is &#8220;No Pain No Gain&#8221;. While it might not be necessary to be howling in agony (in fact that&#8217;s probably a really bad idea), certainly we need to move to, at the very least, discomfort. We need to work past our comfort zone in order to move to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>True Fromance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A few years back, some canny soul coined the term “TomKat”, and a fad was born. But no, it wasn’t a fad. Today, people are portmanteauing all over the place. Portmanteau is the very dignified term used to describe combining two words to form a new one. And so, it is in that spirit that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joy is Highly Underrated</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You know, back in the day when I was working three jobs just to buy Kraft dinner, I didn&#8217;t really have time for joy. I didn&#8217;t really have the capacity or the head space to follow my bliss. (Whenever I use the expression &#8220;follow my bliss&#8221;, I feel I should have long, flowing hair, wear [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 Days to Revamping Your Life. Day 9: Wrapping It All Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Well, my vacation is done and it&#8217;s back to the office tomorrow. Today was spent putting it all together, except for a few hours in the late afternoon when my son and I went to see The Expandables and then grabbed some dinner. Other than that, I&#8217;ve been going over what I&#8217;ve learned about my [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 Days to Revamping Your Life. Day 8: Community and Relationships</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I purposely left this category until the end. The reason for this is that I needed to focus on me first, and then focus on others. That is a key component to any balanced life, and one I&#8217;ve managed to ignore for most of my 49 years.
Two years ago, after my brother died at 46 [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 Days to Revamping Your Life. Day 7: Road Trip!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Road trip: n. a journey via automobile which is sometimes unplanned or impromptu. Journey: a travelling from one place to another, usually taking a long time.
If we assume this is an acceptable definition of a road trip, then that is exactly what I took yesterday. I did indeed travel by automobile, with no particular destination in [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 Days to Revamping Your Life. Day 6: I Ain&#8217;t Pretty, I Just Look That Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ah, fashion and beauty. Now that I&#8217;ve dealt with fitness and finances (my two Achilles&#8217; heels), I&#8217;m can now comfortably sit back on my Parasuco-clad ass, and wax philosophical about our outward appearance. Let me state three things right off the bat: 1. Never dress for anyone else, only for yourself. 2. Your style is whatever makes [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 Days to Revamping Your Life. Day 5: Money, Money, Money.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Sigh. Here&#8217;s an area of my life where I&#8217;m pretty much screwed. I realize this post didn&#8217;t start out with my usual hilarity, but there is nothing funny about my finances. Well, unless you think it&#8217;s funny that I&#8217;m screwed, in which case you&#8217;re a mean person and I have no desire to entertain you.
Let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
So you&#8217;ve taken a little time out and given some thought to your bucket list. You&#8217;ve determined there are a few things you&#8217;d like to experience while you still have the balance to kick at the can without falling on yours. Good for you!

		<title>9 Days to Revamping Your Life. Day 3: Be Flexible</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

No, not yoga flexible (well, yes yoga flexible but that&#8217;s a different post coming later this week). I mean be able to extricate yourself from the elaborate and detailed schedule you have created for yourself in order to adjust to whatever comes your way. An unofficial mantra of the Marine Corps &#8211; Improvise, Adapt, and [...]]]></description>
