		<title>Think Broadly. You&#8217;ll Be Happier.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like to carry my own reading with me. At doctor&#8217;s offices and various other places where you&#8217;re left waiting for unknown periods of time, I&#8217;d rather consciously dive into something I&#8217;ve been meaning to read anyway than waste time catching up on the latest American Idol and Dancing with the Stars drama. So when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music, Love and Lessons in Creating Yourself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks ago, I found myself at Cafe du Nord.
I was ready for a night of musical exploration. I&#8217;d never heard of any of the artists, but it was better that way.
I was pleasantly surprised, however, when the performances started tugging at my heartstrings &#8212; songs so open and honest that my connection to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Touch Much: Why Is Platonic Affection So Taboo?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we&#8217;re hungry, it&#8217;s simple — we eat. When we&#8217;re thirsty, we drink. But what about when you just want to and need to be touched? There are no touch cafes. Touch doesn&#8217;t come as a gift with purchase at the Lancôme counter. And if you&#8217;re not in a romantic relationship, how do you fill [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Forever Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always pondered the notion of &#8220;forever.&#8221; Of true love. Of what it takes to make a lifetime partnership work.
When I think about marriage, about the thought of spending the rest of my life with one person, I continuously wonder: what does it take to devote yourself mentally, physically and emotionally to one soul &#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why &#8220;Oral Sex&#8221; Shouldn&#8217;t Be Banning Dictionaries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Oral sex&#8221; isn&#8217;t a bad word. It&#8217;s not a four-letter expletive; it&#8217;s not even a nickname for a sexual part of human anatomy. And yet, because it has to do with sex, it MUST BE BAD.
That&#8217;s how some parents down in Menifee, California think, anyway. So passionately that a complaint about &#8220;oral sex&#8221; being in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Meat v. Veggies: The In-N-Out Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well-equipped with Michael Pollan&#8217;s latest guide &#8212; small enough that yes, I did actually have it in my purse, it seemed only fitting that David and I were recently having a conversation about the price of meat versus the price of vegetables &#8230; in the car at 1 a.m.
As a matter of experiment, we pulled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nude and Un-Photoshopped: Still Not the Answer.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2009, a light bulb turned on. (I sure hope it was a CFL.) Someone in mainstream media &#8212; new or old, internationally or nationally &#8212; an editor, an assistant, maybe it was a PR rep, realized that &#8220;Oh hey! Not everyone is a size 2, huh? All the other &#8216;beautiful&#8217; people in this industry [...]]]></description>

		<title>When You Just Can&#8217;t Wait for a Fresh Start.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m feeling the general consensus, from many friends and a few acquaintances, that 2009 was terrible. That they&#8217;re ready for it to be over. That whatever 2010 has in store, it&#8217;ll sure as hell be better than what 2009 had planned.
And yet, in the process of wishing for time to pass quickly, &#8217;tis the season [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Can&#8217;t Be Afraid of Losing.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yoga has helped me figure out a lot of things.
For one, that even people over six feet tall can touch their toes. (So yes, that means you can, too, with enough practice and encouragement.) 
One night, one lesson, one nugget of insight stands out in particular, though.
Usually overflowing with bad jokes we can&#8217;t help but [...]]]></description>
