		<title>A journey of a thousand miles&#8230;getting back on the trail.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been nearly 3 years since I took my first steps towards fulfilling the mission that I believe (sometimes firmly, sometimes not so much) that God has given me. I&#8217;ve been thinking about it a lot recently and just re-read my older blog posts. I have to say that I am a bit (OK, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Images Missing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just noticed that when I moved my website from one web host to another most of my images in my blog posts disappeared. I will get this fixed shortly. Thank you for your patience. (update: As of 2/1/2012 all of the broken image links should be fixed)]]></description>

		<title>A 10 year deep shift.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[10 years ago I had a 3 week old baby and was wondering into what kind of world I would be raising a kid. I didn&#8217;t want anything to do with God, or, especially, religion. I watched the coverage of NY, DC, and PA on Fox News. I was filled with hate and wanted revenge. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Believe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An old friend posed a question on Facebook a few weeks ago that just &#8220;popped&#8221; into my head a few minutes ago.  I often let these thoughts go when I know I should be writing or typing them down, but the call to share this one is much too loud and insistent to let it [...]]]></description>

		<title>2010 The Journey In Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2010 was quite a trip for my family and I.  We navigated a lot of switchbacks, water crossings, and scary drop offs on our way to a nice gain in elevation. The year started with us wondering just how long Kristie would continue to have a job as an Interior Designer at Gresham, Smith &#38; [...]]]></description>

		<title>The trail less traveled  &#8211; part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not long ago I was much like most Americans fueling up my vehicles with gasoline, taking my kids to the fast food drive-thru&#8217;s,  buying my food at the grocery store, spray fertilizing &#38; weeding my lawn, etc. without much of a second thought.  I did want to conserve energy a bit (&#38; save $$$ a [...]]]></description>

		<title>More than a thousand – aka, the stories behind the photos. – #3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A picture may tell a 1,000 words but it still never tells the whole story.  I’m going to take you on a journey back through the lens and out the viewfinder to tell you the story of the making of the image. Come over here and step inside my Wayback Machine.  We are going to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A journey of a thousand miles… the next steps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last night I got you up to speed a bit on what has happened since I 1st told you about the vision/mission  God has given me.  I realized as I was composing that post that I really haven&#8217;t given a very clear picture of my vision.  That is what I hope to rectify now.

		<title>A journey of a thousand miles… the baby steps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s been a little over 8 months since I wrote about my dream for the future so I thought I would post an update on what&#8217;s been going on. While I have been learning a LOT, the whole process feels like taking baby steps.  You know the shaky, unsure, off balance kind of steps [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four Oh!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am 40-years-old. There, I&#8217;ve said it.  It is on the Internets now so it must be true.  Now, if you are reading this and suddenly scrambling to send me a birthday card or present please note that it has been a few months since the auspicious anniversary of my birth.  (If it helps you [...]]]></description>
