		<description><![CDATA[Experience and attachment always influence perceptions.  I’ve fallen victim to shortsightedness on numerous occasions in both my personal and professional life, and you might venture a guess that it rarely produced positive outcomes.
As synchronicity would have it, I was reminded of my current level of frustration and subsequent closed mindedness when I sat down one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know about all of you, but I was never comfortable with the idea of generating media coverage.  Actually, it wasn&#8217;t so much that I was “uncomfortable” as it was the fact that it all seemed to be one big mystery, a secret process I was never privy to.  I certainly saw mental health [...]]]></description>

- George Bernard Shaw

The Human Connection in Action
The school year had just begun and Linda was already overwhelmed. Not the regular “overwhelmed”, but the kind that occurs when a teacher realizes she has a particularly challenging class.  So Linda turned to her [...]]]></description>
