		<title>I am of&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I saw a performance of “Breaking Ice” from the Pillsbury House Theater in Minneapolis.  One part of the performance was a piece called “I am” where each cast member shared their story in seven “I am” phrases.  They challenged us to write our own.  Here’s mine:
I am of doing right.
I am of few, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Resolutionary Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Years Day has come and gone.  How about the Resolutions?
Resolutions, in theory, originated with the Romans around 150 BC.  When the Romans put together their calendar, they put the god “Janus” first.  Janus had two faces, one looking forward and one looking back – Janus could see what worked in the past, and what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Offering Advice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When someone approaches you for advice, it is often a challenge to help without hindering or driving the situation.  The risk is in making a decision on behalf of the person that you are trying to help, either knowingly or unknowingly.  Here are a few tips to help put you in the right frame of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Personality vs. Individuality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Individuality and personality are often confused in todays culture, in my opinion.  Individuality is perceived as a product of one’s personality.  “What makes him such an upstanding individual, is his outstanding support for charity,” for example; charity is an aspect of his personality.  The missing link is whether or not he is being charitable out [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whose problem &#8211; Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right on the heels of my posting about problems, I&#8217;m smacked in the face with a reminder of why this has to stay in the forefront.
What is the right answer when one individual looks at something and sees it as absolutely fine, and another sees the same things but as somehow lacking?  By my definition, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whose problem is it?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are three types of problems that an individual can encounter.

Mine
Someone Else’s
No one’s


My Problems
These are problems that I have created, either directly or indirectly.  They are problems that have occurred due to my action or inaction, and therefore are completely in my purview to fix.  They are, however, also the most difficult to fix.  Why?  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Two Minds&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my coworkers picked up a magnetic desk sculpture &#8211; one with acrobats and bars, and on it is written &#8220;Work life.  Personal life.  Help your employees balance both.&#8221;
 
I&#8217;ve never liked that work life/home life delineation.  It reminds me of the old Roses are Red rhyme:
 

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
I&#8217;m schizophrenic,
and so am I.
