		<title>Just call me Pinky</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The day is July 10th. It&#8217;s 1977, and I just got these new hot wheels! It&#8217;s a bright pink banana bike and I think I&#8217;m the coolest thing around &#8230; I play the best Pinky Tuscadero!
So it only makes sense I get to be her when we pick our roles in make believe. With the wind in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>What does it take?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Teachers, friends and books &#8230; three simple words, but they mean so much. This past Monday Dominick and I were having a conversation about art and asking what does it take for an artist to truly reach their potential?
So I shared with him something my Kabbalah teacher Sarah told me last week, (it was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Pelican&#8217;s Tale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The image of the pelicans this past week covered from head to toe in oil left such an indelibly painful impression on my heart. It&#8217;s so sad to see the how much devastation is happening to the ecosystem in the gulf. In response I thought I&#8217;d share one of my favorite poems, (which ironically seemed [...]]]></description>

		<title>a cup of kindness yet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible cresent) after the Vernal Equinox (the first day of spring). For most countries the official day of celebration is marked just 2 days away from today, on January 1st.

It&#8217;s a symbol of renewal and an [...]]]></description>

		<title>winter&#8217;s gift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sunday morning we made sure to set the alarm for 6am. Anticipating the first snowfall this season, (I mean real snowfall, the kind that makes you think twice before leaving the house) we wanted to be out, and out early, to seize the offer of that precious hour just as day breaks.


It was Winter&#8217;s first gift, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tis the season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; in Rockefeller Center

There&#8217;s a joy of skating in the middle of Manhattan I&#8217;ve never been able to find anywhere else. 

As I look up from the ice it&#8217;s 8pm. The night&#8217;s sky (as expected) is replaced by the vision of lights on this years Christmas tree. There&#8217;s cars and people everywhere! They&#8217;re moving east, [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;bring her to life&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Last Saturday I had the privilege to attend the commissioning ceremony of the USS NEW YORK (LPD 21). Traditionally the commissioning of a naval vessel is a time of celebration, the welcoming of a new shipand its crew to the fleet. It&#8217;s a symbol of our national pride and steadfast resolve. Yet on that day, [...]]]></description>
