		<description><![CDATA[By now, almost everyone who earns one has received their first paycheck of 2013. Depending on your income bracket and your budget the reality of what the expired Payroll Tax Cut means to you is starting to hit home. 2% more out of your paycheck probably didn’t sound like much in the abstract when you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love the start of a New Year for the nostalgia and introspection it inspires. I have a tradition on New Years Day of reflecting on where I’ve been, the people I’ve met, the experiences that mattered and the lessons learned; the cumulative effect of victories won and wisdom gained along the way that I [...]]]></description>

So is the story of saving Star…and in the process, saving ourselves. Super storm Sandy was on her way; the weather maps showed her imminent approach. To ease my concern, I scrolled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My theory about getting older is; we may intellectually be able to look in the mirror and accept what we see…signs of middle age and all.

		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know what it says about us as a species, but somehow we humans manage to have a war every ten to twenty years; as if each generation needs it’s own bloody touchstone.

Translated in to American, that means I’m on vacation, so I was not planning to post my regular “Woman Warrior Wednesday” feature.

		<description><![CDATA[Shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, then Brig. Gen. Jessica Wright, was summoned to Washington, D.C.
